As cost of higher education soars in US, California-based USC Marshall School plans philanthropic funding for Indian students

With the cost of higher education in the US rising steadily, California-based USC Marshall School of Business is taking concrete steps to support Indian students through expanded scholarships. Aimed at attracting philanthropic funding for scholarships for students, the university has plans to set up a not-for-profit initiative in India.

In an exclusive interaction with The Indian Express, Geoffrey Garrett, Dean of USC Marshall School of Business, emphasised that increased scholarship support helps attract high-quality students from a broader cross-section of the population, as ‘ability-to-pay’ is no longer the primary filter for admissions.

Elaborating on ways to ensure such support, Garrett spoke about plans for establishing a not-for-profit in India, which would make it easier to attract philanthropic funding for scholarships. “That, in turn, would enable more students from across the socio-economic spectrum to study in the US. It is a win-win — for the students and for institutions,” he said, adding that the cost of pursuing higher education at the USC Marshall School of Business is close to half a million dollars, including tuition, living expenses, and other costs.

Put the graduate’s resume in the circular file.

“You’re like a case of foot fungus that won’t go away.”

I see no problem with his article postings generally.

Three articles on the disappointed Indian lady were a bit much.

Then the school wouldn’t need any US Federal funding and would most likely not qualify for it. Rename it University of Indua, cA campus.

They’re just stealing our country and they feel completely entitled to do so. Anyone who questions it is a heretic against the national religion of diversity.

Let's see, rising cost and the school is giving away more education for free.

Of course I have no idea if this is the school's official policy, but this seems to be a recipe for bankruptcy and extinction as an on going business.

Cost of higher education soars

California has the highest rate in non graduated high school students in the nation so why worry about what people from other nations pay.

I don’t see the Ukraine connection here. So, maybe they need to go to business school to manage seized Russia,Russia,Russia assets or something? Maybe we need more managers to administer all the Lebensraum we’ll get when we march to Moscow and finally partition Russia,Russia,Russia?
