New York just OK'd tuition-free college for middle class
Source: CNN
New York just became the first state in the nation to make tuition free for middle class students at both two- and four-year public colleges.
Governor Andrew Cuomo introduced the tuition-free plan in January. Lawmakers agreed to include it in the state budget, which was approved by the Assembly on Saturday and by the Senate late Sunday night. The governor is expected to sign the budget bills.
Tuition will be free for residents who earn up to a specific income cap, which will be phased in over the first three years.
Cont’d.
