The four-part initiative will raise the baseline income below which loans are forgiven from $46,500 to $60,000 to aid middle-income graduate students, double the number of fully funded post-graduate fellowships from 14 to 28, hire a full-time public interest director to counsel students, and increase funding for summer public interest opportunities, according to a statement Koh sent...
