LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A senator-elect says he’ll introduce legislation to study how a tuition payback program catching on in other states might work in Nebraska.

The program known as Pay It Forward allows students to enroll in college without paying tuition costs up front. Instead, they agree to pay back a fixed percentage of their future income over at least 20 years.

The Economic Opportunity Institute says at least 25 states introduced some kind of Pay It Forward legislation in 2013 and 2014.

Earlier this month, Nebraska state Sen.-elect Adam Morfeld won election to the Legislature to represent northeast Lincoln. The 29-year-old attorney says in January, he’ll introduce the legislation to study the program.
