Montana Senator Max Baucus says he wants free college tuition to be offered for students majoring in math and science.
The Democrat says he plans to introduce legislation in the coming months that would give full scholarships to high school graduates majoring in math, engineering, sciences or technology.
Sen. Baucus says the idea is to make the U.S. more competitive on a global scale especially with countries like China and India. The proposed legislation is part of a new $25 billion education incentives package.
The only catch to the free ride is that students would have to work or teach in a related field for at least four years after graduation.
