新罕布什尔州州长宣布社区学院「承诺计划」构想 家庭收入10万美元以下学生拟免学费
新罕布什尔州州长凯莉·阿约特（Kelly Ayotte）10月14日宣布，她计划设立「社区学院承诺计划」（Community College Promise Program），为家庭收入不超过10万美元的新罕布什尔州学生提供社区学院免学费就读机会。据新罕布什尔社区学院系统（CCSNH）发布的新闻稿，该计划于10月14日对外公布。
CCSNH近期委托「花岗岩州民调」进行的一项全州调查显示，当地居民看重社区学院系统在职业培训、可负担学费与入学便利方面的表现。阿约特此次宣布的承诺计划，拟以家庭收入10万美元为资格上限，覆盖该州社区学院学生的学费。
目前州长办公室尚未公布计划的实施时间表与经费安排细节，后续仍需与州议会协商。社区学院系统在全州设有多个校区，承担职业教育与转学教育职能。

New Hampshire Governor Announces Community College Promise Plan for Students From Families Earning Up to $100,000
New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte announced on October 14 that she intends to create a Community College Promise Program that would provide free tuition for New Hampshire students whose family income is up to $100,000, according to a release from the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH).
A recent statewide survey conducted for CCSNH by the Granite State Poll found that residents value the community college system for career training, affordability and ease of access to higher education. Under the governor's proposed Promise Program, the $100,000 family-income threshold would determine eligibility for tuition-free attendance at the state's community colleges.
The governor's office has not yet released an implementation timetable or funding details, and the plan is expected to require work with the state legislature. The community college system operates campuses across New Hampshire providing workforce training and transfer education.
