A. that aimed to transform American higher education and that promised to make a college education more accessible to more Americans through --- Correct
B. ,aimed to transform American higher education and promised to make a college education more accessible to more Americans by providing -----, aimed is a participle and ‘promised’ is a past tense verb; so unparallel; In addition it is missing the ‘that’
C. that aimed to transform American higher education and promised to make a college education more accessible to more Americans providing –- ‘that’ is missing; in addition, Moe Americans providing distorts the meaning that it is the Americans who are providing
D. that aimed to transform American higher education promising to make a college education more accessible to more Americans through ----‘Higher education promising’ implies wrongly that it is the education is promising rather than the bill. There should be a comma before promising for it to modify the bill
E. that aims to transform American higher education and make a college education more accessible to more Americans through – ---- ‘aims’, a present tense verb is wrong in the context; ‘aimed’ is more fitting to denote something started at a particular time in the past. ‘aims’ will render it eternal, which is not true since the bill did not exist before 1965.
With regard to the use of 'a collegiate education', this is adopted from an article that appeared under the given URL,
https://www.newrepublic.com/article/1233 ... rld-stoner
The cited article says –– ‘to make a college education’ -. If that usage is good enough, we may as well take it, I believe.
Regarding idiom 'aim at' or 'aim to'
Aim to and aim at or even aim for or aim with are all ok depending upon the context.
1. Aim to is used as infinitive; followed by a verb to indicate a purpose. --- Every student aims to score 700+
2. aim at --- aim at something like a place or a thing; usually followed by a noun or gerund. ---- Arjuna aimed at the head of the bird.
3. aim with: The killer aimed with a gun; followed by a noun
4. aim for: He aimed for the Himalayas; followed by a noun
