Kudos, Kudos, Kudos to the UCF and Tuskegee
I was just talking to one of my ls's and I was telling her about the good news about UCF and Tuskegee, and she told me that she heard on KYW that a few of our local schools will be doing that as well. She heard Temple, U of PA and Rowan which is located right over the bridge in Jersey, and they are going to give the students reduced tuition...so kudos to those schools as well.
Ok, I looked at KYW's site and not only Temple, Uof PA and Rowan, but Univ of Delaware, Delaware St, Drexel and Arcadia are offering all this. They also will allow faculty and staff up to three weeks of paid time off
to work as volunteers with various organizations involved in hurricane recovery efforts.
Rowan is also offering in-state tuition/housing rates.
Del. State Univ. Offers Free Tuition for Students Affected by Hurricane
Delaware State University is offering free tuition for the fall semester
to students enrolled in colleges in the region affected by Hurricane
Katrina.
The students must be enrolled in schools in Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi, and Louisiana and be residents of those states or Delaware,
Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, or the District
of Columbia.
DSU President Allen Sessoms says the university wants to make sure
students don't have to put their educations on hold.
