GO TO HARVARD FOR FREE!!!!!

Harvard University Announcement
                  No Tuition and No Student Loans

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 ten percent of the students in elite higher education come
from families in the 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 their 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: http://www.fao.fas.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do or call the school's financial
aid office at (617) 495-1581.

Please note that there are several other universities of this level that are also doing this.
