The Excelsior Scholarship

WJFF - Close to Home with Leif Johansen by Leif Johansen

Episode notes

Leif takes a solo romp through New York State's scholarship that allows students to attend 4-year SUNY and CUNY schools tuition-free. We look at issues of access and equity in the first-of-its-kind program, and consider ways to make it more accessible--particularly for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
