For many students, entering the higher education pipeline through a two-year degree granting program is their only opportunity. In 2010, students enrolled in degree-granting programs at a college that only offer twoyear degrees had their Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) awards cut by 20 percent, meaning the maximum award went from $5,000 to $4,000. That reduction has impacted thousands of students, some of whom need TAP the most. This year, lets celebrate 40 years of TAP and grant all students access to a college education and a chance to succeed. Restore TAP for all students.

Weve been doing it right for all these years and were proud of our students achievements.
