By Robert Hildreth| CommonWealth Beacon@ NOW THAT THE STATE has created Mass Educate, or Free College for All, the hard part begins: messaging—so that low-income students will actually apply for the aid. A good model was the rollout of Mass Reconnect this past year (aid for students over 25), which set aside funds for outreach. But the issue now is more complicated. Mass Educate operates in its own silo yet must integrate with other financial aid for students to receive the full benefits.
By Robert Hildreth| CommonWealth Beacon@ FIVE YEARS AGO, I campaigned to fund the endowment match for our state colleges and universities. Since then, the program has successfully raised a total of $200 million for our public higher education institutions, with two-thirds of the contributions coming from private donors. The current conference committee budget has funded the program for UMASS and state universities but it drops community colleges. This is both disappointing and curious. A supplemental budget should restore this funding.
