FREE SCHOOL
Free Junior College or Trade School with Stipends
I have written a draft bill that would give two years of free junior college, trade school, or technical school to families earning $250,000 or less per year, and to single parents earning $125,000 or less. Children who are 25 years old or younger would be eligible. The bill also provides a $900 monthly stipend to help students pay for transportation, food, school supplies, and living expenses. To qualify, students need to keep a 2.0 GPA or higher and attend classes regularly, whether online or in person. While not every junior college will take part, many are expected to meet our guidelines and work with state and federal governments. Below, you can view the draft of the bill I wrote, called The American Family Higher Access Act.
Key Points:
Two years of free junior college or trade school
$900 monthly living stipend for students
Income eligibility requirements for middle-class families
Flexibility for online and in-person learning
