America thrived in the 20th century in large part because we had the most educated workforce in the world. But other nations have matched or exceeded the secret to our success. Today, more than ever, Americans need more knowledge and skills to meet the demands of a growing global economy without having to take on decades of debt before they even embark on their career.  \nToday the President is unveiling the America’s College Promise proposal to make two years of community college free for responsible students, letting students earn the first half of a bachelor’s degree and earn skills needed in the workforce at no cost. This proposal will require everyone to do their part: community colleges must strengthen their programs and increase the number of students who graduate, states must invest more in higher education and training, and students must take responsibility for their education, earn good grades, and stay on track to graduate. The program would be undertaken in partnership with states and is inspired by new programs in Tennessee and Chicago. If all states participate, an estimated 9 million students could benefit. A full-time community college student could save an average of $3,800 in tuition per year.  \nIn addition, today the President will propose a new American Technical Training Fund to expand innovative, highquality technical training programs similar to Tennessee Tech Centers that meet employer needs and help prepare more Americans for better paying jobs. These proposals build on a number of historic investments the President has made in college affordability and quality since taking office, including a $1,000 increase in the maximum Pell Grant award to help working and middle class families, the creation of the $2,500 American Opportunity Tax Credit, reforming student loans to eliminate subsidies to banks to invest in making college more affordable and keeping student debt manageable, and making available over $2 billion in grants to connect community colleges with employers to develop programs that are designed to get hard-working students good jobs.  \nThe President’s Plan: Make Two Years of College as Free and Universal as High School  \nBy 2020, an estimated 35 percent of job openings will require at least a bachelor’s degree and 30 percent will require some college or an associate’s degree. Forty percent of college students are enrolled at one of America’s more than 1,100 community colleges, which offer students affordable tuition, open admission policies, and convenient locations. They are particularly important for students who are older, working, need remedial classes, or can only take classes part-time. For many students, they offer academic programs and an affordable route to a four-year college degree. They are also uniquely positioned to partner with employers to create tailored training programs to meet economic needs within their communities such as nursing, health information technology, and advanced manufacturing.  \nThe America’s College Promise proposal would create a new partnership with states to help them waive tuition in high-quality programs for responsible students, while promoting key reforms to help more students complete at least two years of college. Restructuring the community college experience, coupled with free tuition, can lead to gains in student enrollment, persistence, and completion transfer, and employment. Specifically, here is what the initiative will mean:  \nEnhancing Student Responsibility and Cutting the Cost of College for All Americans: Students who attend at least half-time, maintain a 2.5 GPA while in colleg","cbCaiqiB0aKypcaf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqiB0aKypcaf","pdf",51799,"English","# Overview\n## Student eligibility and benefits\n## Building high-quality community colleges\n## Shared responsibility with states\n## Additional technical training proposal","[{\"question\":\"What is the America’s College Promise proposal intended to do?\",\"answer\":\"It would make two years of community college tuition-free for responsible students and support students in earning credits toward a four-year degree or credentials for the workforce.\"},{\"question\":\"What requirements must students meet to have their tuition eliminated?\",\"answer\":\"Students must attend at least half-time, maintain a 2.5 GPA, and make steady progress toward completing their program.\"},{\"question\":\"How will the program be funded and what responsibilities are assigned to states?\",\"answer\":\"Federal funding would cover three-quarters of the average cost, while participating states would cover the remainder and provide matching funds, alongside commitments to continue investments and coordinate education pathways.\"}]","FACT SHEET - White House Unveils America’s College Promise Proposal: Tuition-Free Community College | PDF",1792057832]
