The Leatherneck Ball FRIDAY -- A dinner at the New York Hilton will raise money for the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation, which gives college tuition awards to children of members and former members of the Marines.
That program, which receives one-third of its funding from tuition, awards an average $16,000 to more than two-thirds of undergraduates.
(The original Gray Commission plan awarded tuition grants only to parents in an integrated school system who did not want their child attending an integrated school, or to parents in localities which voluntarily closed their school system to avoid integration).
The terms and conditions for the awards vary, but generally the awards cover tuition fees, maintenance allowance, and accommodation cost.
The local award covers tuition fees, compulsory fees, annual allowance, and book allowance.
The award covers tuition and incidental fees, plus a stipend for living expenses.
The overseas award covers tuition fees, settling-in, clothing, book, excess baggage and maintenance allowance, and a return economy airfare.
The award covers tuition fees, an annual living allowance of S$3500, and one return economy class air ticket for the scholar's passage between their home country and Singapore.
What would it cost the state of Ohio to waive any gap between students' financial-aid award and tuition and fees?
Harvard, with an endowment of thirty-six billion dollars, has a policy that students whose families earn less than sixty-five thousand dollars a year are awarded free tuition, fees, and housing.
