"Community College of Philadelphia and Mayor Nutter yesterday announced a plan to pick up the tab for tuition, fees, and some of the cost of textbooks for Philadelphia residents who have completed 30 or more credit hours toward an associate degree and who have been out of school for at least two years," The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. "Starting this fall, the pilot plan will be funded by a $100,000 donation from an anonymous person, officials announced yesterday at a news conference at the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce headquarters in Center City."
