Biden's student debt plan hailed by Minnesota college and student groups

Minnesota college students and graduates stand to benefit from a program announced by President Biden Wednesday. It will forgive up to $10,000 in federal student loans for most borrowers, and up to $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients. Those expected to benefit most include those who attended the state’s two year colleges and technical institutes. This is the afternoon MPR News update for August 24, 2022. Hosted by Kirsti Marohn.
