Education Secretary Miguel Cardona and First Lady Jill Biden — who has been an advocate for free community college — toured Sauk Valley Community College, in Dixon, Ill., Monday before giving remarks.
“All Americans deserve the same opportunity to pursue their passions, get a great education and build a career that they love,” Biden said, referencing a new program at the college.
A program allowing high school students to earn up to three years of paid tuition and fees by completing community service is scheduled to launch in 2022.
