Harvard University Announcement

                                      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!

To find out more about Harvard offering free tuition for families making less than $60,000 a year, visit Harvard's financial aid website at: http://www.fao.fas.harvard.edu/ or call the school's financial aid office at (617) 495-1581.

SEND TO SOMEONE WHETHER THEY CAN USE OR NOT. THEY JUST MIGHT KNOW SOMEONE WHO CAN.

This thing so old... four years old to be exact.  Lawrence H. Summers isn't even the President of Har-vahd anymore.  http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2006/3/30/harvard-free-tuition-for-families-earning/

The school has since retreated from this "free tuition" proclamation in part... but students from families earning less than $60k still qualify for debt-free education... financing will be done via Harvard scholarships

Stanford did the same thing a few years ago.

Looks like it's better to go for private education than public these days. Used to be I paid $750 a semester at Berkeley, now the state is so in debt tuition there keeps rising and is well over $5000 a semester - which is more than the out of state students paid back in my day.
