SB 88

We believe that access to post-secondary education is a critical component in the Cycle of Opportunity. Advanced education is increasingly necessary for earning family-sustaining wages, and the benefits of greater access extend well beyond students and their families. Helping more students complete post-secondary studies will lead to a more highly qualified and educated workforce, which is the foundation for our state's economic strength and competitiveness.
