Key Points

  • This resolution officially names April as Community College Month. It honors the more than 1,000 community colleges across the country that help students get degrees and job training.
  • The measure highlights how these schools provide an affordable path to a career. Public community colleges cost an average of $4,050 per year, making them a popular choice for working parents, veterans, and first-generation students.
  • It also points out the huge impact these schools have on the economy. Community college graduates added nearly $900 billion to the national economy in 2020, and every dollar of public funding for these schools brings back $6.80 in tax revenue.
