It Just Got Easier For Detroit Students To Pay For College

It's been a year of strife for students in Detroit public schools, but on Tuesday, a promise to help kids in the underfunded district was kept.

Mayor Mike Duggan announced the official launch of a program to guarantee two years of free community college to all eligible students who graduate from high school. The Detroit Promise Zone covers kids who have been accepted to one of the city's five community colleges and who spent their junior and senior years at a city high school -- public, private or charter.
