As a candidate, Senator Barack Obama frequently talked about the need to make college more affordable. Now that the American people have chosen him as our next president, he and his administration will make important decisions about the types of financial resources available to students and their families, as well as how easy those resources are to find out about, apply for, and use. Yesterday we sent a letter to President-Elect Obama, congratulating him on his election and urging him to focus on reforms that will make a real difference to college access and success.
