Free College & Adult Education Program Watch

Track free and low-cost education for US adults. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: state and city Promise and free community college program openings, eligibility changes and deadlines within 45 days in Tennessee, Michigan, Massachusetts, New Mexico, Washington, California, Oregon, New York, Rhode Island, Delaware, Maryland, Nevada, Indiana, Minnesota and any other state; adult reconnect and last-dollar programs for people over 25; GED, HiSET and state high school equivalency test price, format and free prep changes; free ESL, literacy and citizenship class program openings from libraries, colleges and nonprofits in the 50 largest metros; WIOA, Pell for short programs and state workforce grant changes; community college enrollment deadlines and late registration windows; credit for prior learning and transfer rule changes; and employer tuition program changes at Walmart, Amazon, Target, Starbucks, Chipotle, UPS and Disney. Prefer state higher education agencies, program pages, college pages, GED Testing Service, libraries and established education reporting; ignore for-profit school marketing. Put the state or program first in the title with the deadline and the value. Use high severity for a deadline within 14 days for a program covering full tuition, a new statewide program, or an employer program change affecting 100,000 or more workers. Return no more than 8 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what it is, who qualifies, the value, how to apply, the deadline, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
