Governor Malloy unveils plan to make college more affordable - Ann Marie Somma, Greenwich Time

Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy on Tuesday proposed an array of tax credits, loan refinancing and other measures to make college more affordable for Connecticut students. "The average cost of a loan for students leaving school is $28,000," Malloy said in a visit to Western Connecticut State University's Westside campus. "I want to make it affordable for students to study and come to state universities." Malloy, who is running for re-election, unveiled his plan at a college affordability roundtable, which included stops at Central Connecticut State University in New Britain, Norwalk Community College and the UConn branch in Stamford. http://www.greenwichtime.com/local/article/Malloy-unveils-plan-to-make-college-more-5744949.php
