Tuition Free Colleges - ss20ts - 05-07-2022

There are a handful of colleges where tuition is free. Students have to show a financial need. Some of the schools require the students to work on the campus for about 15 hours a week. These schools fundraise and some have massive endowments to offset the tuition. Pell grants are given to the students who are eligible. This model has helped with graduation rates and getting students out of poverty. They're also all pretty small schools and have a limit on how many students they can accept because of the funding. Some are NA and others are RA. Most have some sort of religious affiliation. Nice to see colleges put those endowments towards educating students instead of pet projects. This is a pretty interesting concept. I always thought federal work study was supposed to be a way to help pay for tuition but minimum wage page isn't going to contribute much towards tuition when it's $30K a year or more at many schools. Plus fees, books, room & board.
