Today, the College Promise Campaign (CPC) joined a cross section of our nation's leaders at 'The Future of Free College' for the Brookings Institute. Dr. Martha Kanter, CPC's Executive Director, provided her expert opinions on the free college landscape, its momentum, and the critical need for quality research to inform Promise program policies that improve student and workforce outcomes.

This week marks the three-year anniversary of the College Promise Campaign. Programs are underway in 44 states, including 24 statewide programs for youth and/or adult residents. These robust programs remove financial barriers and increase student access and success. In doing so, hundreds of thousands of students are taking advantage of an accessible, affordable, high-quality education.
