DETROIT - Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan is set to announce all Detroit high school graduates will receive two years of tuition at a community college.
The city of Detroit has created the "Detroit Promise," which is a permanent funding source to make sure Detroit students have access to a tuition-free, two-year community college education.
"We are making a promise to every single student who graduates from a high school in Detroit," said Duggan.
The mayor said a part of the city's property taxes will be set aside for the tuition fund. He said the leader of the Detroit Regional Chamber of Commerce started putting the money aside in 2013.
