Abstract

The article reports that Institute for Higher Education Policy (IHEP) has analyzed Tennessee's Promise program and New York's Excelsior Scholarship cover tuition for students. It mentions IHEP found that programs fail to cover non-tuition related expenses, which can serve as a pressing financial barrier for low-income students compared to higher-income peers. It also mentions proposals to support state need-based grant programs and fund non-tuition expenses.
