Education Department Awards $28.4 Million in Grants to Help Low-Income Students Take Advanced Placement Tests

The U.S. Department of Education announced today (8/12/2014) that it has awarded $28.4 million in grants to 40 states, Washington, D.C., and the Virgin Islands as part of its efforts to boost college and career readiness for historically underserved students.

ARNE DUNCAN"We know that when students of all backgrounds are held to high expectations they excel. High school instruction needs to become more rigorous to foster college and career-readiness, and provide multiple pathways to success in order to prepare students for the 21st century global economy.

Welcome to the Harvard College Financial Aid Office. We are eager to help you and your family understand our financial aid programs and to assist you in finding ways to meet your college costs...

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 10 percent of the students in elite higher education come from families in 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!
