"Got Tuition?" lobbies NC Lt. Gov Bev Perdue

From Perdue

Educator Pam Stowell talks with North Carolina Lt. Governor Bev Perdue in Greensboro about NEA's "Got Tuition?" campaign to win greater investment of federal and state funding in student financial aid programs, making the opportunities of college education more accessible and more affordable to more students and their families.

Perdue told "Got Tuition?" that she has strongly supported efforts to make college more affordable, including her proposal to expand North Carolina's EARN scholarship program from two to four years. Perdue's proposed expansion would allow eligible students to qualify for up to $16,000 in grants for college.
