Description
A college degree can make a huge difference for parents and their kids. But if you’ve got an eight-year-old to support and a low-paying job, it’s next to impossible to pay for both tuition and childcare. For residents of Maine, a new law will help. Working with Joby Thoyalil of Maine Equal Justice Partners, Professors Luisa DePrez and Lisa Dodson used their research on the benefits of a college education for low-income women to help advance a bill called LIFT 2.0. Read Luisa and Lisa’s brief, “Why Higher Education is a Must for Low-Income Mothers” Check out the op-ed they wrote in the Portland Press Herald Learn more about Maine Equal Justice Partners on their website
