Forest Park, IL... Harvard University has announced that from now on undergraduate students from low-income families can go to Harvard for free... no tuition and no student loans!

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.

"I am very pleased that Harvard is in a position to make these dramatic changes, and I applaud President Faust and Dean Smith for their careful thought and decisive action in this area of central importance to the University and to higher education," said James R. Houghton, senior fellow of the Harvard Corporation. "Any investment of this magnitude requires trade-offs, even at a university with substantial endowment resources. But investments in the quality of our students — like investments in the excellence of our faculty and research enterprise — occupy a special place."
