A new report released today by Florida College Access Network highlights opportunities to improve college access and affordability for low-income students in Florida. While tuition, fees, and textbooks stand as primary expenses, most college costs are attributed to living expenses.
The new report suggests dual enrollment expansion is stagnant, in part, because school districts and postsecondary institutions need clear, streamlined processes to expand programs, requiring state guidance and improved policy.
Recently published thought leadership from the Helios Education Foundation/University of Florida Institute of Higher Education, Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, and the Lumina Foundation have elevated discourse around the racial and ethnic gaps in American bachelor’s degree attainment and earnings.
