"Dubbing it a "new college compact,'' Hillary Clinton unveiled a $350
billion plan Monday that she
says would enable more Americans to pay for
college without becoming mired in debt that can impede them from
starting a business or even buying a home.
The multi-pronged plan includes giving grants to states to make them partners in a pledge that no student should have to take out a loan to pay for tuition if attending a four-year public college in their state. It would require students to help pay their way through school by contributing based on what they earn from 10 hours of work per week. And, echoing a plan already proposed by President Obama, students would be able to attend community college for free.
In a tweet from @HillaryClinton, the Democratic presidential candidate's campaign said, "Let's make college affordable, relieve the crushing burden of student debt and help every family get ahead." USAToday
