Governor Tom Wolf visited Kutztown University and East Stroudsburg University to discuss how his innovative Nellie Bly Scholarship Program would help at least 25,000 students in the state's university system achieve their dream of earning a college degree while graduating with less debt and building lives in Pennsylvania. The visits are part of the governor's tour of all 14 state-owned universities."There is a student loan debt crisis across our country. It's a burden on young people and their families that can last for years and holds them back," said Governor Wolf. "The Nellie Bly Scholarship Program will help young people to build lives in our communities rather than struggling to pay student loan bills every month."The Nellie Bly Scholarship Program fills the gap after other aid programs so thousands of students can afford college at our world-class state system. With less college debt, graduates can buy a car and a home, start a family and save for retirement. The program also strengthens our 14 public universities and creates a talented labor force that Pennsylvania needs to thrive"
