Hartford, Connecticut Sean Pavone | Istock | Getty ImagesWhen it comes to improving access to higher education, each state is largely left to its own devices. Connecticut, for example, recently rolled out several programs to establish pathways to college and lower the debt burden. Free college program"We're trying to do everything we can to make education less expensive to start with," Lamont said. Like a growing number of states, Connecticut recently introduced a free tuition program for students attending community college either full- or part-time. In Connecticut, students receive "last-dollar" scholarships, meaning the program pays for whatever tuition and fees are left after federal aid and other grants are applied.

When President Joe Biden unveiled the details of his Plan B for student loan forgiveness, he revealed that his hope to make some college free was not dead. "I also want to make community college tuition free so you don't need loans at all," Biden said after including free community college as part of his $7.3 trillion budget for fiscal 2025. "Student loan forgiveness is a Band-Aid," said Ryan Morgan, CEO of the Campaign for Free College Tuition. "Loan forgiveness is a snapshot in time in terms of a fix," Morgan said. Alternatively, free college appeals more broadly to those struggling in the face of rising college costs, rather than after the fact.

Amid arguably the worst year to apply for financial aid, some colleges are implementing new strategies to entice students wary of the high cost. Vanderbilt University announced it is expanding Opportunity Vanderbilt to include full-tuition scholarships to students of families with an annual income of $150,000 or less. Meanwhile, Dartmouth also said it is nearly doubling its current income threshold for a "zero parent contribution" for parents with an annual income of $125,000, up from $65,000. "As costs continue to escalate we think it's so important there is access," said Doug Christiansen, Vanderbilt's dean of admissions and financial aid. "I am concerned on a national level that we will have a portion that think they can't afford it," he said.

☆ A growing number of colleges are rolling out 'no-loan' policies. ‘They are giving them out like candy,’ Yale professor says
  + stars: | 2024-02-28 | by ( Jessica Dickler | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +5 min
Roughly two dozen schools have introduced "no-loan" policies, which means they are eliminating student loans altogether from their financial aid packages. "They are giving them out like candy now," said Menaka Hampole, an assistant professor of finance at Yale School of Management, of the growing number of no-loan policies. "Post-Covid more schools are rolling out no-loan policies mostly on the back of Princeton, which had the money in its endowment to do something," Hampole said. Even if a school has a no-loan policy, that also does not prevent a student or family from borrowing money to help cover their contribution. "No loan doesn't mean free," said Robert Franek, The Princeton Review's editor in chief and author of "The Best 389 Colleges."

If picking a college comes down to the financial bottom line, then an in-state public school can look like a particularly good deal. "In-state tuition is half to two-thirds lower than out-of-state," said higher education expert Mark Kantrowitz and author of "How to Appeal for More College Financial Aid." These days, that goes a long way as students and their families grow increasingly wary of the cost of a degree and hefty student loan debt that often comes with it.
