If your son or daughter wants to go to college but cannot afford to; you may be in luck.
The University of Texas at Arlington just announced that students with a family income of $65,000 or less per year may be eligible for free tuition.
Several publicly funded institutions, including Texas Tech, have similar programs. The difference in this program is that UTA’s income threshold is higher which up to this point had been $40,000 per year.
According to the program guidelines; the program takes effect for the Spring semester of 2009. Students must first qualify for a Pell Grant; after that the university will waive regular tuition, which at UTA amounts to about $8,000 for an undergraduate student taking 12 credit hours.
For more information; students may call the university’s financial aid office at 817-272-3561 or access their web site at www.uta.edu/fao.
