Obama Proposes 2 Years of Free Community College
President Barack Obama announced his proposal Thursday to provide two years of free community college tuition to American students who maintain good grades.
“Put simply, what I’d like to do is to see the first two years of community college free for everyone who’s willing to work for it,” Obama said in a video filmed Wednesday aboard Air Force One and posted to Facebook. He made the announcement as part of his pre-State of the Union tour and will formally lay out the proposal Friday in a speech in Tennessee.
The White House estimated it would save the average community college student $3,800 annually and said it could benefit millions.
