Abstract | "Free college" has become a catch phrase for a variety of policy proposals intended to support this national priority. Most free college proposals share important goals: to reduce costs to students and families, to increase the number of college graduates, and to help students acquire skills needed in the workforce. Free college proposals typically shift the costs of some forms of higher education from some students and their families to taxpayers. Specific proposals differ on who qualifies, where students can enroll, and how financial support is delivered. Early free college initiatives are underway in several states. The Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) commissioned researchers to assess the effectiveness to date of initiatives in New York, Tennessee, Oregon, and Washington State.
