To persuade more students to go to school full time, California will help them financially. Students eligible for needs-based federal or state financial aid and who take a 15-credit course load each semester will receive a $4,000 grant a year, an expansion of an earlier, under-publicized $2,500 award.
As an added incentive, these full-time students won’t pay tuition for their first year of school.
Historically, funding for the state’s 114 community colleges was based on enrollment. But starting this fall, 40% of the state dollars a college receives will depend on whether the institution improves student outcomes and how well it serves poor students. This threat of what would amount to a massive budget cut for schools that make little progress will oblige every community college to make students’ success a top priority.

There's the rub...
Someone always has to pay the bill !
And someone always has to pay the interest !

Free education is never, ever an expense. It's an investment, and loads of research shows that it pays off in a big way.

Welcome to life. 76% of my local Property Taxes goes for schools. Let them pay for their own higher education. Welcome to life.
