David B. Monaghan – AERA Open, 2023
Given the low price of community college relative to need-based aid, last-dollar "free community college" (i.e., Promise) programs often only marginally reduce students' real costs. Given this reality, some claim that these programs impact students largely through "messaging": information conveying the affordability of…
