Posted by Morley Winograd on January 02, 2020 at 5:54 AM

On December 13 in Detroit, Michigan, the Campaign for Free College Tuition (CFCT) hosted our annual workshop for state leaders on making college tuition free. Public officials, experts, and innovators from around the country shared examples of proven best-practices and actionable strategies for policy creation, funding, and building political support.

This year, we were especially excited to have Governor Gretchen Whitmer headline the event with an in-depth conversation on one of her top priorities: Making Michigan's community colleges tuition-free!

 

This year's workshop was our largest yet, allowing us to foster dialogue and cooperation among more statewide leaders than ever! Here are just a few of the event’s many highlights…

We can't do this alone!

Our goal is to make higher education a possibility for every American, without regard to their financial circumstances.

We have a lot to do and not much time to do it, so your support is critical for our campaign to succeed. It’s with your investment that we can fundamentally reform how higher education is financed in this country, opening the doors to a more equitable society.

If you agree with our goal, our plan, and the urgency of the problem, we ask that you give what you can to help us write the next chapter in our nation’s history of continuously expanding access to universal, free education.
