Suzanne Kreiter—The Boston Globe/Getty Images by [Zeke Miller](https://time.com/author/zeke-j-miller/) ## Zeke Miller Aug 14, 2015 8:31 PM UTC Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton outlined plans Friday to make it easier for students with children to complete a college degree. In a town hall in Dubuque, Iowa, the Democratic presidential candidate continued her week-long focus on college affordability, what she terms a “new college compact,” announcing she would seek to dramatically increase in federal funding for college child-care centers while creating a new grant program for such students. “One out of every four post-secondary students in America is also raising a child,” Clinton said in Dubuque. “They need help, and I want to help these young people get their educations so that they and their children have a better life.” According to Clinton’s campaign, her plan would boost funding for the Child Care Access Means Parents in School Program from $15 million to $250 million, which provides grants to campus-based childcare centers. She would also create a $1,500 grant for parents with children who meet certain academic targets called the, Student Parents in America Raising Kids program, which is modeled on a similar program Clinton created as First Lady of Arkansas. Earlier this week, Clinton announced the broad outlines of the college plan, which she says would keep those attending public colleges and universities from needing to take out loans for their education. According to her campaign, Clinton would pay for the proposal by closing tax loopholes for those with high incomes.

Her proposal includes a no- loan guarantee at four- year colleges and universities. The other key component mirrors President Obama's push to make two- year community colleges free for more students. That's right, free for everybody who's willing to work for it. Clinton's plan would cost $ 350 billion over ten years. Paid for by capping itemized tax deductions for wealthy families. But how does this compare to others seeking the Democratic nomination for President. Former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley's approach is sort of a two pronged approach. He wants students to be able to refinance their loans and then make income- based repayment programs the norm. Senator Bernie Sanders has gone further by proposing higher education be completely tuition- free. To do this, 70 billion dollars a year would be provided by the federal and state governments. Fees, like books and remain board wouldn't be covered. For voters addressing student loan debt classes party lines. A 2013 poll fund 83 of voters wanted congress to keep interest rates the same or lower than significantly. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3999036/hillary-clinton-college-children/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3999036/hillary-clinton-college-children/"},"headline":"Hillary Clinton Outlines College Plan for Students With Children","datePublished":"2015-08-14T20:31:28.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-19T07:41:27.551Z","description":"Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton outlined a plan to help college students with children.","url":"https://time.com/3999036/hillary-clinton-college-children/","keywords":["Hillary Clinton","2016 Election","Education"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4d2043abfe97ff5d/69885f69524fc0b6f6df40d4/hillary-clinton-college-children.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Zeke Miller","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/zeke-j-miller/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4d2043abfe97ff5d/69885f69524fc0b6f6df40d4/hillary-clinton-college-children.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Hillary Clinton held a town meeting event at Exeter High School in Exeter, N.H. on Aug. 10, 2015.","caption":"Hillary Clinton held a town meeting event at Exeter High School in Exeter, N.H. on Aug. 10, 2015.","creditText":"Suzanne Kreiter—The Boston Globe/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3999036/hillary-clinton-college-children/","name":"Hillary Clinton Outlines College Plan for Students With Children"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Clinton, Democrats Focus On Reforming Student Loans","description":"Hillary Clinton is expected to announce student loan reforms Monday.
