The administration says more than
seven million students will be affected
without an extension of that lower rate.
The government says the average cost
of attending a public college was
almost thirteen thousand dollars in
twenty ten. The total for private
schools was over thirty-two thousand.
Americans owed eight hundred forty-
five billion dollars in student loans in
twenty-eleven. Some reports say the
amount is now near one trillion dollars.
President Obama has recently given
speeches on several college campuses.
He said when he and his wife,
Michelle, graduated from college and
law school, they had a "mountain of
debt." He told students that college
tuition and fees have more than
doubled since most of them were born.
He noted that the average student who
borrows to pay for college now
graduates with about twenty-five
thousand dollars in student loan debt.
An extension of the lower rate could
cost the government six billion dollars.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt
Romney supports an extension.
Republican leaders in the House of
Representatives say they like the
program.

But they want to pay for it with money
from the new health care law.
Democrats have proposed other ways
to pay for it, such as ending tax breaks
for oil and natural gas companies.
The website edupass.org says most
loans, grants and scholarships from
public and private sources in the United
States are restricted to American
citizens.
American schools that provide aid to
international students are more likely to
provide it to graduate students than to
undergraduates. Some students are
supported by their home university or
government.
A small number receive support from
the United States government.
Employers, private sponsors and
international organizations also help
some students pay for school.
Edupass.org has listings of colleges and
universities that offer financial aid to
foreign students. Another helpful site
about American higher education and
financial aid is educationusa.state.gov.
