"This is quite an honor to have the President and his staff take quotes from my recent letter to the editor," Fitzgerald stated. "I have worked for years helping families make college affordable by saving through College Savings Iowa. But not all families can save for all expenses and many students turn to student loans. We need to ensure that those students do not pay an additional price."
