Show Notes
Iowa State University is phasing out its full-tuition promise program for students from Des Moines elementary schools. The ISU four-you initiative, which guaranteed free college for kids at King and Moulton, will now offer just $1,500 annually for new incoming kindergartners. The change has left current participants and students feeling heartbroken, as the program opened doors to college for many from underserved communities. Iowa State plans a gradual wind-down, focusing on training teachers and leaders to sustain the models gains without university funding.
