Free community college for everyone is the centerpiece of President Joe Biden s $302 billion, 10-year investment in expanding access to higher education. Though it has been hailed as a revolutionary proposal, this walking-through-the-door access doesn t solve higher education s biggest challenge boosting the number of community college students who graduate or transfer to a four-year school.
As one undergraduate said: Anyone can get into college. The challenge is staying in college.

The $62 billion proposal is a part of Biden’s American Families Plan, released last week, which includes a total of $290 billion in higher education spending to offer tuition-free community college, support for historically Black colleges and other minority-serving institutions, and increased Pell Grant awards. According to a fact sheet for the plan, states, territories and tribes would receive grant funding to allocate to colleges that adopt innovative, proven solutions for student success, including wraparound services, emergency basic needs grants and transfer agreements between colleges.
The student success proposal represents a partial shift in focus at the federal level from helping students access and afford college to now helping students stay in and complete college, said Tamara Hiler, director of education at Third Way.
