College is part of the American dream. It shouldn't be part of a financial nightmare for families.
When we make college more affordable, we make the American dream more achievable.
Every day, families in the United States face the stark choice between a roof over their heads and food on the table. Buying health insurance, owning a home, and saving up for college are just too far out of their reach.
