NMR Free tuition at Harvard

[Guest guest]

I'm posting this because my husband was able to go to an Ivy League

school due to a lot of grants, because his mom was making very little

money.

Please pass it on

HARVARD'S FREE TUITION ANNOUNCEMENT

Harvard is offering free tuition for students that have a family

income below $40,000. If you are a member of Blacks In Government, a

mentor of young adults or have children, nieces, nephews or know

anyone who qualify for Harvard's minimum entry level requirements

please give them this information.

Harvard's tuition announcement 'Highlights Failure of Prestigious

Universities to Enroll Low-Income Students' began on March 1, 2004.

Excerpt From the Harvard University Web-page:

[beginning with the 2004-05 year, parents in families with incomes of

less than $40,000 will no longer be expected to contribute to the

cost of attending Harvard for their children. In addition, Harvard

will reduce the contributions expected of families with incomes

between $40,000 and $60,000.]

In making the announcement, Harvard's president Lawrence H. Summers

said, " When only 10 percent of the students in elite higher education

come from families in the lower half of income distribution, then we

are not doing enough in bringing elite higher education to the lower

half of the income distribution. "

Simply put, from now on undergraduate students from low-income

families can go to Harvard for free...no tuition and no student loans!
