The Oregon Legislature this week gave its final approval to a bill that might someday allow students to attend public university without paying tuition.
?? ?
The concept, called Pay It Forward, calls for students to pay a small percentage of their future income into an education fund to support the next generation of students.
?? ?
The bill that passed unanimously directs the state's Higher Education Coordination Commission to develop a Pay It Forward pilot project for consideration by the 2015 Legislature.
?? ?
Though the timing was coincidental, the bill won final approval on Monday, the same day that federal student loan interest rates doubled from 3.4 to 6.8 percent.
?? ?
It's expected to be signed this month by Gov. John Kitzhaber.
