I received this e-mail some time ago — can anyone confirm?
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!
To find out more about Harvard offering free tuition for families making
less than $60,000 a year visit Harvard’s financial aid website at:

True I think—the hardest part is still getting into Harvard.
