Issue Position: Offering Opportunities for All Alabamians

Issue Position

Access to affordable higher education goes hand-in-hand with sufficient investments in our public schools. The Democratic Party therefore favors investments that promote accessibility and affordability. Every Alabama student should have access to at least two years of tuition funding at in-state institutions of higher learning. In turn, our students pursuing a two-year (or Associates) degree from programs in our community college and technical school systems would be fully funded, while those enrolling in four-year colleges would receive tuition for half of their programs. By easing the financial pressures on those working hard to pursue their dreams, we can open new and brighter opportunities for the young Alabamians who will lead our state into the future.
