All students deserve access to Virginia’s world class colleges and universities. Today I proposed a significant boost to the Tuition Assistance Grant program, which supports Virginia students at private schools. Over my term, students have seen a nearly 50% increase in TAG grants — PolitiTweet.org

BIG: I just announced the first-ever HBCU Opportunity Fund, which will provide state funding to support students at Virginia’s private historically black colleges and universities.  @_HamptonU and @VAUnion1865 have never received support from the Commonwealth—that changes now. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Thank you to @VAUnion1865 for welcoming me to your beautiful campus today. I believe students should be able to attend the college or university that is the best fit for them, whether it is public or private. My budget announcements will reflect that. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Our administration has put a record amount of funding towards Virginia’s historically black colleges and universities. I’m proud that under my budgets for the last four years, funding for @Norfolkstate and @VSU_1882 will increase by an historic 87 percent 🚨🎉 https://t.co/I2xkTYCUey — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Virginia’s HBCUs do tremendous work—and this funding means more students will have access to the world-class education they provide. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

It’s great to be back at @Norfolkstate this morning to propose an additional $277 million dollars for our Commonwealth’s public historically black colleges and universities. — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks the 80 years since our country was attacked at Pearl Harbor, a day that will live in infamy. May we always remember the bravery and sacrifice of the 2,403 Americans lost that day. https://t.co/E27U09WCzz — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Virginia's law enforcement officers protect and serve, often at their own risk. I'm proposing pay raises for State Police, sheriff's deputies, and jail staff, and easing 'pay compression.' It's a way to say thanks and to make Virginia an even better place to live and work. https://t.co/lOkwjqdh26 — PolitiTweet.org

Fred was a kind man and a fair journalist who believed deeply in the power of the press. Pam and I send our thoughts to his family and the entire @washingtonpost family. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

I'm traveling the state to say 'Thank You, Virginia.' Today, we start with major news: I'm proposing record funding for public education and a 10% raise for teacher pay. That is a 20% total raise during my term—finally, Virginia’s teachers will be paid above the national average! — PolitiTweet.org

Virginia is making major clean water investments in the Chesapeake Bay. We've now completed the largest oyster restoration project in the country, in the Piankatank and Great Wicomico Rivers. I grew up on the water, and it's great to see all this hard work paying off! https://t.co/xu0JaQ5eLk — PolitiTweet.org
