This R&D covers President Obama’s proposed community college plan, called America’s College Promise, which seeks to provide free community college and technical training. To qualify, students would need to earn a 2.5 grade point average, make progress toward a degree, and be enrolled at least half-time. The estimated price tag for the plan would be $60 billion over ten years, with the federal government providing three-quarters of the funding and the states providing the other twenty-five percent. Tennessee and Chicago have similar programs.
