DeLauro Applauds President Obama's America's College Promise Proposal

Press Release

"Every man and woman in America deserves access to a first-rate education, which is the great equalizer in our society. It opens doors of opportunity to jobs, higher wages, and a better life. That has always been a cornerstone of our republic and part of our compact that gives each generation an opportunity to do better than the one before it. President Obama's proposal will help ensure that opportunity is a reality for more people.

"Community colleges have long provided the practical training and skills development necessary for in-demand careers. I have long fought for initiatives that support our community colleges and make higher education more affordable and accessible for students of all ages. America's College Promise would help fight the rising cost of college tuition and reinforce our commitment to keeping the doors of education open for all.
