A partire da giovedì, Rhode Island è il quarto stato a rendere l'università gratuita. Segue ai gradini di New York, Oregon e Tennesse.

A partire da questo autunno, la nuovissima borsa di studio Promise coprirà le tasse scolastiche per gli studenti del Community College di Rhode Island, indipendentemente da quello studente e dal reddito della loro famiglia. Per poter beneficiare della borsa di studio, gli studenti devono essere residenti nello stato di Rhode Island e si sono diplomati alla scuola superiore la primavera precedente. Mentre sono iscritti al Community College of Rhode Island devono essere studenti a tempo pieno e mantenere un GPA di almeno 2,5.

Quelle stipulazioni bloccano immediatamente un certo numero di studenti come molti studenti attuali non sono a tempo pieno, e molti di quelli che iniziano al college di comunità questo autunno si sono diplomati alla scuola superiore prima della scorsa primavera. Eppure, si stima che 1.200 a 1.300 utilizzeranno la borsa di studio questo autunno.

I $ 2,8 milioni che andranno verso questi pagamenti vengono come parte del budget dello stato. Il programma simile di New York sarà lanciato anche questo autunno. I programmi Oregon e Tennessee sono iniziati rispettivamente nel 2016 e 2015.

Mentre dovremo aspettare fino al lancio del programma per vedere esattamente come si svolge, è emozionante vedere più Stati che seguono l'esempio su un'istruzione a prezzi accessibili.
