Pay It Forward (financial aid policy)

Pay It Forward is a model in the United States for financing higher education under which students attend college tuition-free, and after graduating begin to pay a fixed percentage into a fund to pay for future students' tuition. Pay It Forward legislation was first passed by the Oregon state legislature in 2013.[1]

History

Pay It Forward was first proposed by the Economic Opportunity Institute.[2] The idea became the focus of a capstone class at Portland State University, which hosted a legislative panel and presented a report to Oregon legislators on the model. A study bill on the program was sponsored by Rep. Michael Dembrow and passed unanimously in the Oregon legislature.

gollark: Well, then how will you ship "PotatOS Light"?
gollark: If you change it it would just autoupdate anyway.
gollark: Well, .registry uses potatOS's binary serialization format (not CBOR, it's weird and proprietary for historical reasons) and potatoBIOS is compressed.
