WASHINGTON D.C.--President Carter yesterday signed legislation making more than one million students from middle-income families eligible for federal help for college tuition.
Carter also signed a bill authorizing more than $50 billion to extend for five years the government's program for elementary and secondary education.
Basic education grants, now limited to families with annual incomes of less than $16,000, will become available to families with incomes up to $26,000, depending on future appropriations. Sponsors said this would make an additional 115 million students eligible.
