Tuition discount hopes to lure Hoosiers back to college Stephanie Wang, Indianapolis Star

Could slashing costs be just the right lure to hook the 737,000 Hoosier adults who once aspired to college credentials but never reached the degree? State officials think so. Even if just a fraction of those adults with some college and no degree went back to school, it could help push Indiana's low college attainment rates up, squeeze down the widening workforce skills gap and prepare people for better-paying careers.
