For over 85 years, Federal funding has been distributed to the individual states giving them the authority and means to provide Americans with full tuition and expenses for college, as well as good-paying jobs for those in school or simply out-of-work.
This funding was both the vision and legacy of
Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
----
It is our mission to realize his dream by utilizing the funding as he had intended.
