Lincoln said the Gore-Lieberman plan to increase the tax credit for tuition costs from 20 percent to 28 percent is a step in the right direction toward offsetting increasing tuition costs for many families. Bush said last spring, when he was speaking at Bentonville High School, that he thought Pell Grants and student loans were enough to deal with increased tuition. Some families, whose income is high enough to disqualify them for Pell Grants but still don't make enough to pay for the tuition, would have to consider student loans, she said. Others who spoke included Dan Ferritor, chairman of the Gore-Lieberman Steering Committee and former UA chancellor, and Mark Pryor, a former U.S. senator from Arkansas.
