Kansas lawmakers back two college transfer, scholarship programs
Kansas lawmakers created a Promise Act offering up to 30 months of full tuition for Kansas community college students who commit to living and working in the state after graduation. A second transfer program would allow many credits to move from two-year colleges to four-year universities, potentially cutting KU tuition costs by about 5000 dollars per student. Regents nearly mandated the transfer rule for KU and five other state universities but paused for further consideration.
