<p>As you know, many of our students have been displaced by the horrid effects of Hurricane Katrina. Oklahoma City University is here to help.</p>

<p>Oklahoma City University President Tom McDaniel announced Thursday, September 1st 2005, that Oklahoma City University will open it's arms to those students effected by this situation. This includes students who attended schools that have been effected by the damage of Hurricane Katrina.</p>

<p>Oklahoma City University will award one semester of full, free tuition to undergraduates, graduates and law program students for the Fall 2005 semester. Books, housing and incidental fees are not covered.</p>

<p>"We are opening our hearts and our university to these students", McDaniel stated. "Although we can not replace lost lives or undo damage, the OCU community is eager to help. In fact, it is part of our mission of Oklahoma City University. We don't want this natural disaster to be a road block in these students' educational path."</p>

<p>For over 100 years, Oklahoma City University has had a history of service and academic success. With numerous udergraduate and graduate degrees, we hope to lend a hand to those in need.</p>

<p>I am glad to see that universitiies are responding well to the situation. Syracuse University will also offer at least one semester of free tuition to displaced Tulane students. In addition, they will offer FREE room and board to the first 15 kids that takes them up on their offer! Heck, if I were attending Tulane,I would jump at this.</p>

<p>Thanks! It is a very generous offer from Oklahoma City University to do this. I'm glad you agree!</p>
