The Clinton plan proposes a $1,500 tax credit for a student’s first year of college and a matching second year credit if a minimum average is met, with a $10,000 deduction for family college costs. It would apply to incomes up to $100,000, seen as a targeted midline tax cut to bolster support for another Clinton presidency.
