House Republicans are pushing wholesale changes to financial aid, advancing a conservative agenda to curtail the federal role in education financing.

Congressional Republicans on Monday proposed to reduce eligibility for Pell Grants and impose new rules on student loan programs.

Republicans with the Education and Workforce Committee voted to advance an education reform measure Tuesday, potentially sending to the GOP-controlled House a proposal that looks to eliminate some student loan repayment plans, place limits on how much federal money students can borrow and make eligibility changes for Pell Grants.
