Rep. Scott has supported tuition freezes at our state colleges and the U of M.
Rep. Scott also supported a first in the country new law that gives a tax credit to young adults paying off their student loans. This credit amounts to over $400 a year on average.
The jobs of the present and the future do not all require a 4 year degree. Rep. Scott supports programs that promote two year degrees that will lead to good-paying jobs in the trades. Employers are begging for qualified CNC operators, welders, electricians, etc. High schools are responding and working with our tech schools to promote these jobs. Industry is working with students and some are offering mentorships, help with tuition, and jobs upon graduation.
