At a news conference to announce his plan for making a higher education more affordable, Markell said that if elected, he wants to double over four years the amount allocated by the state for need-based financial aid. That would bring the amount available for scholarships for low-income students to more than $20 million, he said.
I liked this nugget:
Of Markell’s plans, Carney said: “It takes more than just talk to get things done; it takes leadership.”
Coming from the guy that currently works under Minner? That’s funny JC.
“I’ve worked to improve education at all levels and supported the creation of the SEED scholarship program, which gives all Delaware students access to [earning a degree] at Delaware Tech with a pathway to the University of Delaware,” Carney said. “A priority for me when I’m governor is to create a pathway [for students to attend] Delaware State University as part of that program.”
and Delaware’s schools are JUST THRIVING too
