ATLANTA (AP) — President Barack Obama is paying a visit to Georgia.

Obama was scheduled to travel to Atlanta on Tuesday to give remarks at the Georgia Tech campus. The president also planned to attend a fundraising event for the Democratic National Committee.

The White House says Obama's stop at Georgia Tech is expected to focus on the president's efforts to expand Americans' access to college. The president earlier this year announced an initiative that would allow qualifying students to attend two years of community college for free.
