| Abstract | As the cost of college has increased 12-fold over the past 30 years, state disinvestment in higher education has deepened. Today, learners are forced to make a tough choice: either forgo college at a time when getting a postsecondary credential matters more than ever, or join the ranks of 45 million Americans with student loan debt, who today collectively owe $1.5 trillion. Efforts to make college tuition-free have become an increasingly popular response to this college affordability crisis and skills development mandate. The number of "free" college or promise programs at state and local levels has increased from 53 in 2015 to more than 300 programs across 44 states. This includes 23 statewide programs. Early evidence suggests promise programs can make a difference in enrollment, persistence, and completions. Yet, in this era of exponential expansion and widely diverging program designs, there is no guarantee that all promise programs will have positive effects. Jobs for the Future (JFF) has culled the expertise and experiences of practitioners in 16 states to offer policy design recommendations for those that are new to the college promise concept, or are looking to expand these programs to transform postsecondary systems, increase attainment of credentials with value and grow a skilled workforce. This group has developed five key principles to guide postsecondary policy decisions. The principles highlight the need for Promise programs to advance student success, keep program design simple, ensure sustainable and stable funding, allow for flexibility and share accountability. The Policy Leadership Trust also offers examples of potential policy levers that policymakers may consider in order to fulfill the intent of each principle. (ERIC). |
