| Abstract: | Since summer 2023, Texas' Financial Aid for Swift Transfer (FAST) program reimburses public colleges for the cost of delivering Dual Credit (DC) programs to low-income students, based on eligibility for federal Free- and Reduced-Lunch (FRL) programs. FAST is a potentially transformational state policy that can improve access to DC. This brief summarizes findings from a study of low-income students from one school district who took DC at one community college, Lake College (LC, pseudonym), in a metropolitan area in Texas. |
