WOW!
Harvard to replace all loans with grants
World's richest university to offer free or cheaper ride to some students
Harvard University announced Monday a major expansion of financial aid that will reduce tuition bills by thousands of dollars — even for families earning six figures.
The university said it would replace all loans with grants, and spend up to $22 million more annually on aid, mostly targeting middle- and upper-middle class students. Families earning under $60,000 already pay nothing to attend the world's richest university, with an endowment of nearly $35 billion.
Now, however, there parents earning between $60,000 and $120,000 will pay a percentage of their income, rising to 10 percent. Families with incomes between $120,000 and $180,000 will have to pay 10 percent of their incomes.
