Abstract	As statewide college promise programs continue to develop, emerging equity concerns necessitate interrogating whom programs benefit and how expense funds can be applied. Critical Policy Analysis (CPA) is used in this chapter to understand how statewide promise programs advance or hinder racial equity across eligibility and financial aid support policy. Results are based on 23 statewide promise programs that claim to make community college, and sometimes 4-year college, free to eligible students. The results reveal that only 34% of statewide programs include summer term and vocational/technical program eligibility. Only 39% of statewide programs include eligibility for undocumented and half-time enrolled students, and only 13% include justice-impacted students. This work serves as a call for statewide promise programs to expand eligibility and financial aid support for non-traditional students to achieve equitable access to statewide promise programs and receive the necessary support for postsecondary success.
