In this country (in that state especially) you are poor if you make $190'000/year 🤦🏻
In Europe you're rich with half of that.

Academically gifted people shouldn't be held back from achieving the highest education because their family can't afford tuition. If you're smart enough to enroll and be accepted into something like MIT. It shouldn't be discriminatory based on income. I know it will ruffle some feathers.

This is amazing. My state implemented zero tuition at community colleges. I’m closely watching to see what changes take place after January.

Smartest state in the country being the smartest state in the country.

Awesome. As long as the qualifications don’t include an income disclosure to eliminate or reduce this benefit. :).

Here in MA, we voted on this a couple years ago. We made community college free for all eligible students. I'm glad to see MIT is also taking part in the program!: https://www.mass.gov/info-details/free-community-college

MN has made tuition free for first two years in state colleges and community colleges for residents earning less than$75,000.

The way this ivy league school scam works is they let very smart kids to raise the reputation of rich kid who got in because of their parents.

philbutta.bsky.social•95 days ago

I expect the #Baldybean administration to thwart that plan. They think only wealthy people should get the higher education careers etc. Doctors. Lawyers. CEOs. Etc.
