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
