Here is New England we are surrounded by a lot of choices in Higher Education. Some of the best colleges in the US are found here in New England. Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, etc....
For some time, Higher Education has been harder and harder to accomplish, given tuition costs. Most students graduate from college with a huge debt and many do not apply simply because they know they can not afford it.
George Washington University $37,000+
Bucknell College $36,000+
Columbia Univ. $35,000+
Dartmouth College in NH has decided to do something about it. In a Press Release this week, they are making a radical decision. If you are from a family that makes less than $75,000, and have the grades to get into Dartmouth, your tuition will be $0. I am not kidding.
They have over $3.2 Billion in reserves and are using that to make this happen. They are challenging other schools to make similar decisions.
Hats off to Dartmouth, very very impressive.
