The impact of New York’s free college announcement is still being felt. More than 940,000 families with college-age children stand to benefit.
Samiyah Ali, a student at City College of New York shared her view, “I think it’s good. College was a worry for me, like how you’re going to afford it, how you’re going to go, you want to go to college so you can get a better job, be financially set in the future. So I think it’s a great opportunity. It makes college available for a lot of people that weren’t able to go to college.”
The bill will allow free college for families making less than $125,000 per year.
