Community college students in Maryland would have access to substantially more state scholarship money under legislation approved this week by state lawmakers, allowing some students to attend tuition-free. For students meeting certain qualifications, community college tuition would be free, Phillips said. To qualify, students would need to be recent high school graduates and Maryland residents, according to a news release from the Maryland Association of Community Colleges. It was unclear whether Maryland’s governor would sign the legislation, according to the community college association. There are 16 community colleges in Maryland.
