SACRAMENTO (KRON) — Gov. Gavin Newsom kicked off the first day of class at the Cosumnes River College promoting two free years of community college for full time students which California is now providing.
“We hope this changes people’s mindsets of what’s possible for themselves. A lot of people think of college and think that’s not for me, I can’t afford it,” Newsom said. “But we want to make that mindset similar to that you can get an education not just in high school, but get that two year degree.”
The state budget allocates an extra $42 million to help an estimated 33,000 students who are eligible for the program.
The college president says the campus is seeing a significant increase in full-time enrollment.
“The number of students doubled this year of those who are taking 15 units as opposed to even in the previous year,” said Cosumnes River College President Edward Bush. “We are seeing an immediate impact not only in terms of the number of bodies of new students coming to the institution but the number of credits they’re taking.”
California has the largest community college system in the country.
Newsom says he aims to now work toward addressing college costs that go beyond tuition.

Save money on books, school supplies and everything you want to enjoy college! Financial aid, back in the olden days meant grants, scholarships, work study jobs. Loans were part of the package, but since they are available, ‘common thought’ was it is not financial aid – it was however a low interest loan. If you’re dependent on your parents, and they are below a certain income, most colleges give you much monies to help you attend their school. The middle class student with 2 working parents pays much more for their child to attend school and that student often can’t get work study job on campus. Those jobs are limited to the kids with financial aid.
If you can, or your parents can, to lower your loan debt when you leave school, if you have any monies, try to pay at least the interest while you are in school. Many loans start adding interest the day they are used to pay for school. So a $10,000 loan becomes a $12,000 amount when you leave school (example each loan is different) If you pay the interest (example $25 per month) then the $10,000 loan is only $10,000 when you leave school.
