Help more students complete college

Minnesota's policymakers should act now to make college more affordable and accessible for low- and middle-income students. It's more important than ever, if we are going to have the educated workforce we need for future jobs and economic growth. Our state can't compete globally if only one out of three low-income high school students in Minnesota go on to college (that's compared to two out of three when income is not considered).

There are steps the state can take right now: one, put more money into need-based aid, increasing awards and eligibility for thousands of students, and two, fund proven support programs that help those least likely to go to college.
