The law passed by the state legislature over the weekend provides those in the income brackets of $100,000 a year or below in 2017 with a scholarship to attend a state or city college for free; that number will rise to $110,000 in 2018 and $125,000 in 2019. The law does not cover the cost of housing or textbooks, and illegals will not be covered.
