dc.description.abstractAs college costs steadily rise, students face unprecedented financial barriers as they pursue higher education. Many federal, state, and institutional policy makers tout free-college programs as solutions to addressing college affordability challenges. But IHEP analysis of two state free-college programs, Tennessee Promise and New York’s Excelsior Scholarship, show that to help low-income students afford college, free-college programs must be designed with equity at their core. The report identifies opportunities to better target existing programs and puts forth recommendations to help design equity-driven federal and state free-college programs.en
