One off or do we expect more institutions to follow suit?
who knows - I hope more follow. It truly helps to start leveling the playing field.
This is an outstanding financial aid program. Probably will be very rewarding not only to the student recipients but also to Rice University as it moves up in US News rankings and alumni increase donations in appreciation !
Wow! This is a great news. Is this for Texas residents only or every US resident is eligible? Rice use to be a tuition free school until 1965.
If not completely free than colleges should go as low as $10k flat fee for everyone, paid back by students themselves, not parents, college or financial aid. All students should have equal opportunity.
The “Rice Investment” program is open to all U.S. residents. https://financialaid.rice.edu/rice-investment-faqs
