For middle and lower class families?


That's what I heard today from some people at my school?


Anybody know if this is true.


I heard the school leading the charge was A&M and that Tech was doing it also.

Somebody.... anybody... tell me if this is true.

students from families who make a combined $60k or less a year will receive free tuition....

you still have to pay for cost of living and books....

and also meet the criteria to get into the school.....

Most of the colleges that have this exemption has the income for the family below $40,000. A&M is the only one that I've heard of that increased it to $60,000. I'm sure there are other schools that have it at $60,000, I just haven't heard of any yet.
