PA Department of Education Highlights Importance of Higher Education Funding at Pennsylvania Highlands Community College

Pennsylvania Department of Education Acting Secretary Eric Hagarty today visited Pennsylvania Highlands Community College to discuss the impact the Nellie Bly Scholarship Program would have on students across the commonwealth and the importance of continued investments in higher education.

"As a product of community college education myself, I know that Pennsylvania's community colleges offer students a high-quality education at an affordable price. However, we also know that across the nation, young people are entering the workforce with unmanageable student debt," Hagarty said. "The Nellie Bly Scholarship Program would make higher education more accessible and affordable to more students, helping them pursue their interests and begin a meaningful career without undue financial burden upon graduation."
