What benefits could tuition free
community college bring our way? In this article, Sara Ashley O'Brien takes a
closer look at Tennessee, a state that has taken the first steps towards
testing out this proposal. The author very much stretched the importance of
giving low income students the opportunity to obtain a college degree. Requirements
for the program (Tennessee Promise) are listed and the increase of enrolled high
school graduates in college. Having 90% of these students begin their journey
for an associates after receiving a GED is incredible. This number is high and
shows that a lot of students could benefit from not having to worry about the
cost. These programs dependent on the Mentors that keep the students motivated
and informed. This ambitious proposal can
be a lot to take in, but is demonstrating great changes in Tennessee.
