Now that Barack Obama has won the presidency, as college students we should be wondering exactly what that means for us. According to CNN.com, Obama’ stance on college tuition is:
“Proposes scholarships that will cover four years of undergraduate or two years of graduate teacher education, including high-quality alternative programs for mid-career recruits in exchange for teaching for at least four years in a high-need field or location. Advocates schools dedicated to enabling “teachers to learn from expert practitioners in the field.” Says he would provide $1 billion in funding to create mentoring programs for teachers.”
Obama’s own website describes his plans for creating The American Opportunity Tax Credit and how he plans to simplify the application process for financial aid.

As for the questions of “What will work?” and “What won’t?”, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
