Student Loan Bills Are Dropping Next Month for Many, but There’s a Hiccup

The Education Department has not finished recalculating payments for millions of borrowers enrolled in SAVE, forcing loan servicers to put many loans into forbearance.

By Stacy Cowley

On July 1, millions of federal student loan borrowers will see their monthly bills drop — some by as much as half — as the Biden administration’s new income-driven payment plan , known as SAVE, takes full effect.

But first, the government and its four loan servicers have to resolve a major hiccup.

Starting next month, borrowers enrolled in the SAVE plan with only undergraduate loans will have their monthly payments capped at 5 percent of their discretionary income, down from the current 10 percent limit. (Graduate school loan payments will remain at a maximum of 10 percent, while people with a mix of undergrad and graduate loans will have a weighted payment.)

The loan servicers are relying on the Education Department to send them the new loan amounts for every borrower. But the department has not yet finished making calculations, according to three people familiar with the process, who asked for anonymity because they are not authorized to speak about the issue publicly.

To buy time, the department instructed its servicers to place borrowers with payments due in early July into an administrative forbearance for the month, which means no payment from them will be required.

More than eight million borrowers have enrolled in the SAVE plan. Many received notices this month saying that their account had been placed into forbearance, sparking widespread surprise and confusion.

“I was freaking out a little bit,” said Iván Barragán, who got a letter from his servicer, MOHELA, last week. “I thought I had done something wrong. Then I quickly went on Twitter and saw that a bunch of people were also getting the notices.”

• UVI Free Tuition Scholarships Now Available to Part-Time, Online Students

The University of the Virgin Islands (UVI) is excited to announce that part-time and online students are now eligible for the Free Tuition Scholarship program thanks to new legislation that expands eligibility criteria to include more Virgin Islands residents seeking their first undergraduate degree. In addition, new UVI policies have been implemented to help students maximize financial aid through the Free Tuition Scholarship program and other supplemental sources including federal, private and local awards. New students are encouraged to apply to UVI now for the 2024 fall semester.

“We are extremely pleased with the recent legislation that makes it possible for more Virgin Islanders to achieve their dream of a college education,” said UVI President, Dr. David Hall. “I would like to thank members of the 35th Legislature for their support and specifically Senator Samuel Carrión for sponsoring Act # 8814 that extends the free tuition benefits to a wider population. Furthermore, I would like to recognize the important role of the UVI Board of Trustees in making the necessary policy and procedural changes quickly so that students can take advantage of the benefits right away.”

To qualify for the Free Tuition Scholarship, students must be graduates of a USVI high school they attended for three or more years; have a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher in high school; be seeking their first undergraduate degree (associate or bachelor’s); enroll as at least a part-time (6 or more hours per semester) student; and be a current resident of the U.S. Virgin Islands. Students are eligible whether they graduated from a private, public or parochial high school, regardless of age, graduation date or household income.

“The new legislation opens the door to so many Virgin Islands residents for whom part-time or online studies are the only viable option due to work schedules or family obligations,” said Louis Gaubatz, vice provost of Enrollment Management at UVI. “This is an incredible opportunity, especially for individuals already in the workforce looking to earn a college degree and advance their careers. “We are also encouraging current students to contact the Registrar’s office or a member of the enrollment team to check for eligibility under the expanded criteria.”

An important aspect of the UVI policy changes is how the Free Tuition Scholarship is administered. When an eligible student applies to UVI, the UVI Office of Financial Aid will now apply the Free Tuition Scholarship funding first towards the cost of tuition. If students require supplemental financial aid to cover expenses such as room and board, books and other fees, that financial aid, whether federal (FAPSA), private or local awards, will be applied after the Free Tuition Scholarship funding.

“This is an important policy change that essentially allows students to maximize the financial aid they receive to cover as many college-related expenses as possible,” explained Gaubatz. “Since the Free Tuition Scholarship program covers strictly tuition, students can unlock the ‘Plus’ part of the program by applying for federal aid through the FAFSA, to cover non-tuition expenses. And students who, for whatever reason, do not want to apply for financial aid, can still receive the Free Tuition scholarship.”

The Free Tuition Scholarship Program, also known as the Virgin Islands Higher Education Scholarship program, was created through a legislative act introduced by Lt. Governor Tregenza Roach while serving as Senator in the 32nd Legislature. Signed into law in 2019, the Free Tuition Scholarship is funded by the VI government to make attending college more affordable for more Virgin Islands residents. The ensuing Act #8814 which expands eligibility criteria was passed in April 2024. For more information about the Free Tuition Scholarship program, visit https://freetuition.uvi.edu.

59% fall short on third grade reading test in Tennessee; here's what's next

Third graders in Tennessee's public schools only saw slight improvement in English language arts scores on this year's standardized state test, with 41% reaching proficiency, up from 40% last year.

Statewide scores on the critical section of the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program, or TCAP, test were released by the state education department Thursday.

Individual scores, released to districts on May 20, set off a fast-moving timeline to determine if third graders who fell short will be held back under the state's controversial reading law . To avoid retention, those students must either pass on a retake, meet exemption standards, win an appeal, enroll in summer school and show adequate growth, or opt into tutoring for the entirety of fourth grade. Not all students qualify for the tutoring option alone.

The release also included fourth grade TCAP English language arts scores, which showed modest gains, with roughly 46% scoring proficient. That's up from 44% last year. Fourth graders who fell short on the state reading standard last year but opted into tutoring must pass the section of the test or hit an individualized growth goal. If they do not, the reading law leaves it up to parents and school leaders to decide if those children are held back or sent to fifth grade with more tutoring and academic supports in place.

The overall numbers released Thursday do not reflect exemptions, which are up to districts to sort out and apply.

While growth from last year's scores was limited, both third and fourth graders have shown steady improvement since recent lows driven by the pandemic. Here's a look at how they scored in the year before the coronavirus pandemic and the years following. State testing was not administered in 2020 due to the pandemic.

Tennessee third-grade reading law: What to know about TCAP scores, retention and more

Third graders 

• 2019: 63% not proficient / 37% proficient
• 2021: 68% not proficient / 32% proficient 
• 2022: 64% not proficient / 36% proficient
• 2023: 60% not proficient / 40% proficient
• 2024: 59% not proficient / 41% proficient

Fourth graders

• 2019: 66% not proficient / 34% proficient
• 2021: 67% not proficient / 33% proficient
• 2022: 61% not proficient / 39% proficient
• 2023: 56% not proficient / 44% proficient
• 2024: 54% not proficient / 46% proficient 

"Tennessee's strategic education investments have resulted in significant gains in reading for students across the state," Gov. Bill Lee said in a news release from the Tennessee Department of Education. "As we continue our work to ensure that all Tennessee students can read at grade level, we remain committed to supporting teachers and empowering families with multiple pathways to achievement so every student can thrive in their academic journey."

While 60% of third graders fell short as the state reading law rolled out for the first time last year, only 1.2% were ultimately held back . Final decisions for third graders must be made at least 10 days before school starts.

Here's a look at what options third graders who did not meet proficiency this year have.

Previously: Only 1.2% of Tennessee third graders held back in 2023 after reading law rollout

What's next for third graders

Some third graders whose scores fall short can meet exemptions that allow them move on to fourth grade without any further action. Those students include:

• English language learners who have received less than two years of English language arts instruction
• Those who were held back in a previous grade
• Students with disabilities or suspected disabilities that impact their literacy development

It is up to the districts to identify and apply exemptions and inform parents.

Third graders who scored as "approaching" proficiency must complete one of the following to move on to fourth grade:

• Retest and score as "meets" or "exceeds" proficiency, with a retest window of May 22-31 (statewide retake data had not been released, as of Thursday)
• Enroll in summer school, meet 90% attendance and show adequate growth
• Have a free state-provided tutor for the entirety of fourth grade

Additionally, third graders who score at or above the 50th percentile on their spring reading screening test can also move on if they enroll in tutoring for the entirety of fourth grade.

When it comes to post-summer school tests, the State Board of Education defines "adequate growth" as a student scoring at least five percentage points higher than their baseline score. The baseline can be either their initial TCAP English language arts score or their retake score.

Third graders who score as "below proficiency" have the following options to move on:

• Retest and score as "meets" or "exceeds" expectations, with a retest window of May 22-31
• Enroll in summer school with a 90% attendance rate  and  have a free state-provided tutor for the entirety of fourth grade

The state Education Department allows for appeals for third graders who fell short in two circumstances:

• The child faced a catastrophic event within 60 days prior to their TCAP that impacted their ability to perform on the test.
• The child scored in the 40th percentile or higher on a state-approved universal reading screener.

There are also additional steps required for those who appeal using the reading screener option. Here's what they entail:

• The principal of the school must agree to develop an academic remediation plan for the child.
• The student’s English language arts teacher and principal must both agree to promote the child to fourth grade.
• The student’s school district or charter school must agree to give the child high-dosage, low-ratio tutoring for the entirety of their fourth grade year.

The appeal window opened May 28 and will close June 28. Parents and legal guardians can also authorize school personnel to file an appeal on their behalf.

Where can I learn more?

The education department provided a graphic as a guide for third and fourth grade promotion and retention decisions.

The graphic, along with more information on the reading and retention law, can be found at  tn.gov/education/learning-acceleration .
