Gov. Scott Walker signs college affordability bills

MADISON — Gov. Scott Walker is signing a series of bills Monday aimed at college affordability.

The four bills will increase grants for technical college students; create grants to help two-year students deal with financial emergencies; require the Department of Workforce Development to coordinate internships with colleges and employers; and require colleges to provide students annual information about their debt levels.

The state Senate didn’t give approval to another of Walker’s college affordability proposals that would have lifted the $2,500 cap on tax-deductible student loan interest.
