Stanford gives some tuition break
PALO ALTO, Calif. (AP) - February 20, 2008
The university said Wednesday it plans to eliminate tuition for
students with annual family incomes totaling less than $100,000. It
also will pay most room and board for students with families making
less than $60,000.
Financial aid director Karen Cooper says the move comes as
middle-income parents express concern about paying for a Stanford
education.
Stanford tuition is expected to rise to $36,000 in the fall.
Room and board will cost about $11,000. About a third of the
university's 6,700 undergraduates are expected to qualify for the
tuition break.
