Makes college free for students by having government pay tuition costs.
The problem
Many students cannot afford college tuition and graduate with significant debt. High education costs prevent low-income families from accessing higher education opportunities.
The proposal
The bill would eliminate tuition costs at public colleges and universities. Government would fund these institutions to provide free education to enrolled students.
The impact
College students and families would pay no tuition. Taxpayers would fund the program. Universities would receive government money instead of student tuition payments.
Students would earn degrees without owing money. This reduces financial stress and helps graduates start careers and buy homes sooner.
Removing cost barriers allows low-income and middle-class students to pursue higher education. This increases opportunities for social and economic advancement.
More educated workers can increase productivity and innovation. Graduates with no debt spend money on goods and services, boosting economic growth.
Free college narrows wealth gaps by giving all students equal access regardless of family income. This promotes fairness in educational opportunity.
Funding free college costs billions annually. This requires raising taxes, cutting other programs, or increasing national debt significantly.
People who never attend college or already paid their tuition would fund others' education. This may be seen as unfair by some taxpayers.
Universities might receive less funding per student than current tuition provides. This could affect campus facilities, professor salaries, and educational resources.
Free tuition does not solve why college is expensive. Housing, books, and living expenses remain unaddressed, limiting benefits for some students.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
