Abstract | As the national debate about the prospect of free community college continues, state and local College Promise programs continue to expand with a mix of public and private funding aimed to provide debt-free education to students, usually gaining bipartisan support. Most states aim their programs at full-time students and/or recent high school graduates, which excludes many nontraditional students, and most provide "last dollar" funding, which means students must first use Pell grants and other financial aid. Some limit eligibility by income, although most of the recent state efforts do not. A few require in-state residency after graduation, and some specifically target high-demand fields. The article examines the College Promise programs in various states and their eligibility requirements. (ERIC). |
