Harvard recently implemented the Parent Loan Plan (PLP) which enables parents whose incomes range from $15,000 to $50,000 to pay tuition in monthly installments over eight years. First offered to the Class of '80, the program has helped to increase the percentage of middle income students who come to Harvard after being accepted...
...effort to find ways to help those hard-pressed parents, Congress is currently considering two different financial aid packages that would give families in the $15,000 to $25,000 income range the first long-awaited break in financing tuition costs. One proposed bill would ease the financial burden through a $250 tax credit, while the other would increase funding for existing financial aid programs and earmark some of that money specifically for middle income families...
...decision about which package--the tuition tax credit or the student aid bill--to invest in is turning into a power struggle on Capitol Hill as both sides race to gather supporters and maneuver into position for the decisive votes.

Supporters of the student-aid bill say they have an advantage here, however, because they...
...Under this bill, financially independent students and parents of dependent students in undergraduate or post-secondary vocational programs would be eligible for up to a $250 tax credit each year the student is in school.

Robert Packwood (R-Ore.) and Sen. Daniel P. Moynihan (D-N.Y.) would apply to tuition costs at private elementary and secondary schools as well...
...student aid bill say their package gives more support to middle income families than the tax credit and does not give aid to families who probably do not need it. Any family, regardless of income, would be eligible for the tax credit if the family had any tuition costs to pay after receiving any federal, state or institutional scholarships. A Congressional Budget Office study released in January shows that while almost half of the money for the tax credit would go to families in the $10,000 to $25,000 income range, as much as 37 per cent would...
