Founder's College evens playing field with free tuition, support for low-income students

A new Indiana college is opening its doors this fall to promising students for whom the hefty price tag of higher education may otherwise have been prohibitive.

Founder's College, housed at Butler University, will offer a 2-year degree covering not only tuition, but also transportation costs, a laptop, counseling, emergency funds, job coaching, paid internships and more. The idea, says founding dean Dr. Carolyn Gentle-Genitty, is to take random factors out of the equation for academic success.

She joins Here & Now, along with accepted student Mia Armendariz, to discuss Founder's College and what it means to them.
