The University of Memphis will not longer charge tuition to the children and spouses of fallen service members.
The school becomes the first to offer the national Folds of Honor scholarship as a payment-in-full scholarship, The Memphis Commercial Appeal reported on Monday, Memorial Day.
The university already accepts the scholarship, which provides a $5,000-year-year payment to undergraduate students under the age of 24 who had a parent severely injured or killed while on active duty.
Spouses of any age can also receive it if they have not remarried.

Very nice.
This is the kind of help and hand up I love seeing...for our dear military families.
but it is going to whizz off a bunch of illegals and other gimmestuffers..
Very decent.
I hope others will follow their example.
Getting tired of hearing about children of illegal immigrants getting free tuition.
It's likely no one ever considered this before because children and family members of fallen heroes aren't a coveted voting bloc like illegal aliens.
Agree 100%
Bravo! Now maybe Cal Berkley will follow suite. /s
(Before anyone notices, I realized as I pressed POST that I linked to the wrong state news. The system doesn’t allow to me to correct it but I was able to add Tenn. Very sorry to the people of Tennessee for my mistake.)
Very Good!
Policemen and firemen families should be considered too.
This is how IT SHOULD BE.
Not some illegal alien leech who hates America

Who knew
.... Should be a permanent part of a Federal Gold Star Rule or something ...
The entire UC system, including Berkeley, have given free tuition for children of fallen or disabled California residing vets for many years, even including those with a 0% disability. Not everything in California has been set aside for illegals, it just seems that way.

That’s great to know. Thank you for sharing that detail.
that is great, but then the folks that get the free ride will have to go to Memphis, and that’s a danger in itself.
Refreshing in this time of countless benefits for “dreamers.”
