Helping Adults Begin a New Chapter in Their Lives
The Free Minds Project provides Central Texas adults living on low to moderate incomes with a chance to fulfill their intellectual potential and to jumpstart their college education. A program of the Division of Diversity and Community Engagement at The University of Texas at Austin, in partnership with the UT Humanities Institute, Austin Community College, and Foundation Communities, Free Minds offers a two-semester humanities class to adults who have faced significant barriers to education. Top faculty from UT and ACC lead students in lively discussions and help to improve their skills in writing, communication, and critical thinking. Tuition, books, and child care are provided without charge. Students who complete the course receive six credit hours from ACC.
