Abstract
The Dollars and Sense of Free College measures the costs of three major free-college models as well as the cost of a plan put forth by 2020 Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, which shows the likely costs in the first year range from $27.8 billion to $75 billion. The report finds that the annual benefits of Biden’s free college plan would exceed the annual costs of the program within a decade.
