 * Issue:** Education
 * Bill Title**: Economical College Coarses for Grads


 * Purpose:** The purpose of this bill is to help high school graduates around the country attend and take college courses that will be at a reduced rate for those who can't afford to pay full price.

The people eligable are determined by yearly income of students($1,000 per month or lower)
 * Eligibility:** This bill is for all people who have applied to attend college.

__Education Benefits:__ - After school hours, high school graduate can take college courses in available high school and college classrooms. This is very affordable because a lot of the materials needed, like desks and computers, will already be provided by the high school.
 * Terms and Benefits:**

__Funding Benefits:__ - Books and supplies that other neighboring colleges have, that aren't currently being used, will be used for this program as well.

__Teacher Availability:__ - Also, available teachers, who are eligible to teach college courses, can teach these graduates after school as well as teaching high school during the day.( Below are salary details)

__Work Space Benifits:__ - Not only will the teachers and students benefit, but the building will be getting another use. This is very convenient for the college students because it's affordable, close by, and can give them a chance to work during the day and attend college after.

__Time Benifits:__ - These courses will take place on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5 to 8 o'clock and on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 to 9 o'clock. Students can have the option of picking what days they will attend and what will work best for them. This program will be just as professional and successful as actual colleges and universities. We will only accept 30 people to attend on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Wednesdays, will be open to about 450 students because classes will be held in a Lecture Hall.

__Long- Term Benefit:__ - Students who have a college education can make a difference in the world and can have a real job that will support them. This will really help America start building our economy back up.

__Teacher salary:__ - On average, a teacher teaching college earns about $73,000 a year and works about 9 hours a day. The amount the teachers will make will be estimated by taking the average amount they make a year and dividing it by the average number of hours they work per day. Then that number will be multiplied by the number of hours they will teach at this program (3hrs) to get how much they will be payed for this bill.
 * Fiscal Impact:** For this bill, the teachers, materials, and supplies will need to be payed for.

__Materials and supplies:__ - Most of it is already provided by the high schools and other colleges that will be hosting for the students. We will use their classrooms, that they're not using, to educate our students. The money to pay for the rest of these things will come from grants from the government, cutting funds, and the money the students are paying for this program.
