The 5 things you need to know about Obama’s free community college plan
President Barack Obama rolled out the details of a plan Friday that would make two years of community college free for millions of American students who meet a series of minimum standards. The goal, Obama said is to make higher education as “free and universal as high school is today.”
The White House estimates that 9 million students could benefit from the program. According to internal calculations, full-time students would save an average of $3,800 in tuition annually.
