1/5 @IWPResearch supports the Biden administration’s decision to relieve up to $20,000 of debt for #studentloan borrowers and pause upcoming payments.

Student parents work hard to balance classes, work, and caring for their kiddos as they pursue college degrees and family-sustaining careers. But how much does it cost for a parent to attend college in your state? Find out in our new report with @EdTrust: edtru.st/StudentParentAfford…
ALT A blue and brown graphic that says, “A student parent would need to work 52 hours per week, on average, to cover child care and tuition costs at a four-year public college in the United States.” The Education Trust and Generation Hope logos are at the bottom center.
