Rice Helps With Tuition

quote:
But all hope is not lost. Rice University , one of the nation’s top 20 universities , has announced that it will now offer free tuition for students from middle-income families. The Rice Investment program will offer students with family incomes between $65,000 and $130,000 full tuition scholarships.

Moreover, students with family incomes between $130,000 and $200,000 will receive half-scholarships covering 50 percent or more of their tuition. If the family makes below $65,000, not only will the student get a full-tuition scholarship, but they won’t have to pay any fees, with room and board covered.

Yep.

Very badass what they're doing over there. They're going to get some really fricking smart kids because of that. The demand from top students from low-to-middle income families will sky rocket.
