Please share with your networks. Harvard University has announced 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 10 percent of the students in Elite higher education come from families in 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! In addition, Harvard announce reduced fees for students from families with incomes between $60,000 and $80,000.

My yearly income is less than $10000 and in AR all that gets u is maybe a pell grant and a LOT of loans. Same thing in MO (where I went). Colleges are a money making business…I doubt seriously that any college is going to give you a free ride no matter what your income. $40000 is a lot of money compared to me and I barely get any help.

Why can’t you do like the people who make 70,000 a year do. They work part-time, get loans and work their butts off for the degree. Why should your tuition be free and mine is not. Do you really think my family can afford 20,000 a year anymore than yours can.

Alex, most schools will accept a PELL GRANT. its where you can get a loan from the government and dont have to pay it back. try to apply for that and see what happens. DONT get a reg. student loan cuz then you will get stuck paying it back.

yes uta in arlingtion just passed a bill to help under privilaged families in the county, but i think you have to be under 30,000 but you can check it out.
