ORGANIZATION | Harvard University Announcement
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.harvard.edu/admissions/

CAN.
