THEIRS: Montana needs new ideas for affordable college education
October 22, 2014/
As student debt rises, higher education in Montana remains a relatively good deal compared with other states. The next legislative session – and the legislators who serve in it – will play a huge role in determining just how good a deal it is in the future.
That’s why a new statewide campaign launched just this month is working to bring the subject of student debt to the forefront of legislative campaigns and, next, the 2015 Legislature. Meanwhile, a national study out this week from a personal finance website points to several areas where Montana might make improvements – and offer an even better deal to prospective students.
