Indianapolis – Governor Mike Pence issued the following statement in advance of the President’s visit to Ivy Tech Community College in Indianapolis this afternoon.
“Indiana has worked hard to make college more affordable, and our financial aid for community college is among the most generous in the nation. Because of our state’s financial aid programs, community college is already free for a significant number of our students and heavily discounted for others. The State of Indiana receives federal funds for a broad range of programs and would certainly evaluate funds to help Hoosiers attain college degrees, should Congress make them available. Â The best way to increase graduation rates is to make sure that our students are academically prepared for college and that colleges and universities encourage students to graduate on time with the least expense to them and their families.”
