Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King, along with Representatives Chellie Pingree and Jared Golden, urged Education Secretary Linda McMahon to reverse the Department of Education's decision to terminate funding for two Upward Bound programs in Maine. These programs, located at the University of Southern Maine and the University of Maine at Farmington, assist low-income and first-generation students with college readiness.
The delegation expressed their concern, stating, “The Department’s decision... is deeply upsetting, and the negative impact on the students enrolled... cannot be overstated.” Both programs, originally funded through a five-year grant, have formally requested reconsideration of the funding cut.
The Veterans Upward Bound Program currently supports 125 veterans, while the River Valley Upward Bound Program serves around 60 students. The delegation emphasized the importance of these programs, highlighting their effectiveness in helping students overcome educational barriers.
