Paine College is urging former students who may have had to pause their education to come back and earn a degree.

The initiative, authorized by Paine College President Dr. Lester A. McCorn, forgives unpaid balances owed directly to the College, allowing eligible former students to re-enroll without the burden of institutional debt.
