The Education Department's budget would be significantly reduced under Trump's 2020 budget. Changes include the end of subsidized student loans and the popular public service loan forgiveness program.
President Donald Trump's budget proposal unveiled on Monday would slash funding for the U.S. Education Department by more than 10 percent.
The budget eliminates subsidized student debt, in which interest doesn't accrue on the loans while borrowers are in school or in economic hardship. It also reduces the number of repayment plans for borrowers and scratches the popular, if challenged , public service loan forgiveness program. The plan would narrow the numerous income-driven repayment plans, which caps people's bills at a percentage of their income, to just one. Under that option, students' monthly payments would be limited to 12.5 percent of their discretionary income, compared with 10 percent now.
