Chapter 758, An Act to Promote Access to Public Higher Education Assembled by: Harry W. Osgood Higher Education Specialist Maine Department of Education - 1 - Overview Chapter 758, An Act to Promote Access to Public Higher Education made it possible for high school students to enroll in college courses offered through Maine's public higher education institutions. Implementation began with the fall 1998 semester and students enrolled in record numbers. In support of this initiative, the legislature appropriated $75,000 to the Department of Education to cover half the tuition of enrolled students for the academic year 1998-99. Response to this initiative was so overwhelming that the entire appropriation for the academic year was committed during the fall semester. For this reason no resources were available to the Department to continue its support of students who had planned to enroll under this program for the spring 1999 semester. While the lack of funds for the second semester is unfortunate, it is clear that the program has been highly successful and that many students have benefited. Outcome During the fall 1998 semester 435 students enrolled in public higher education course offerings. These students came from 57 high schools located in 11 of the state's 16 counties.
