A Debt-Free Education @ The University of Virginia

<p>UVa has just improved its Financial Aid to help more poor (in-state & out-of-state) students attend the University w/out any debt. For all others both in-state & out-of-state, your debt will be capped at $15,000 for all 4 years at UVa.

<p>Editorial: U.Va. OPENS DOORS EVEN WIDER
****By The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot */ Saturday
The University of Virginia is upping the ante in its effort to attract low-to-moderate income students to the historically elite school. The commitment to provide a free education to the bottom 20 percent of Virginia families deserves enthusiastic applause. That keeps the door open to a bright student from a family of four which takes in $37,700 a year. That's twice the federal poverty level. The promise strengthens the university's case for more freedom to set policies, including tuition. That request, for so-called "charter" status, should be granted only to schools that forge binding agreements to maintain or expand financial access for students at the lower end of the economic scale. If U.Va. fulfills its commitment to aggressively recruit the poor who earned admission, the university could emerge as a model for eliminating class as a barrier to a premier education.
