Cuomo Announces 'First-of-Its-Kind' Plan to Offer Free College Tuition for Low- and Middle-Income New Yorkers
Anyone with a family income under $125,000 would qualify under the plan, which Bernie Sanders called "revolutionary"
Gov. Andrew Cuomo has proposed a plan to offer free college tuition to New Yorkers whose families make less than $125,000 a year.
Hailing the plan as the first of its kind in the nation, Cuomo said Tuesday the "Excelsior Scholarship" would apply to anyone accepted to any two- or four-year city or state university. Nearly a million families would qualify.
