Free Tuition

Harvard University Announcement
No tuition and no student loans

Harvard University announced over the weekend that from

now on undergraduate students from low-income families

will pay no tuition. In making the announcement, Harvard's

president Lawrence H. Summers said, "When only ten

percent of the students in elite higher education come

from families in the lower half of the income distribution,

we are not doing enough. We are not doing enough

in bringing elite higher education to the lower half

of the income distribution."

If you know of a family earning less than $60,000 a year with an honor student graduating from high school soon, Harvard University wants to pay the tuition. The prestigious university recently announced that from now on undergraduate students from low-income families can go to Harvard for free... no tuition and no student loans!
