The College of San Mateo has taken several steps to improve access for students on the coast and plans to continue outreach in order to respond to and support the needs of the community.
On the state level, Sen. Josh Becker, who represents San Mateo County, introduced legislation allowing all three San Mateo community colleges to provide tuition-free courses to students who qualify.
“Increasing access to higher education is life-changing,” Becker said in a prepared statement as part of a press release announcing introduction of Senate Bill 893. “It is one of the most important things we can do for our residents to ensure economic mobility for our entire community.”
