******Outside the military academies, here are eight schools where tuition remains free:*****

The Colleges Where Tuition Is Still Free

Alice Lloyd College, Pippa Passes, Ky.
Undergraduates: 598
Tuition: $4,460
The school covers tuition for students from 108 counties in central Appalachia. Students are expected to work 10 hours a week in campus jobs that include cutting grass, serving as lifeguards and staffing the on-campus day care. Students from outside the no-tuition zone can make up to $1,160 in campus jobs to offset their tuition bills.

Barclay College, Haviland, Ks.
Undergraduates: 198
Tuition: $11,000
Since 2007, this four-year bible college has offered free tuition to full-time students who pay to live in the dormitories. Known for its ministry degrees, it also offers degrees in education, business administration, and psychology and family studies.

Berea College, Berea, Ky.
Undergraduates: 1,661
Tuition: $22,100
Berea guarantees each student the equivalent of a four-year full-tuition scholarship. Students are required to work a minimum of 10 hours a week in campus jobs.

College of the Ozarks, Point Lookout, Mo.
Undergraduates: 1,377
Tuition $18,030
Students work 15 hours a week at one of 80 campus jobs, including milking cows, gardening and staffing the school’s hotel and restaurant. They are also expected to put in one 40-hour work week a semester. If they want to cover the cost of room and board, they can take on a full-time campus-provided job over the summer.

Curtis Institute of Music, Philadelphia, Pa.
Students: 165
Tuition: $36,500
All students automatically receive full merit-based tuition scholarships. They must pay room and board, but some 125 students also get some type of financial aid to help cover those costs.

Deep Springs College, Big Pine, Calif.
Undergraduates: 26
Tuition, room and board: $50,000
At this alternative, two-year college, students work a minimum of 20 hours a week either in campus jobs or on the cattle ranch and alfalfa farm attached to the school. Jobs range from washing dishes to delivering calves. Deep Springs covers room and board as well as tuition. The school was all-male until it voted to admit women starting in 2013, though that decision has been delayed by a legal challenge from one of the trustees. Most Deep Springs students transfer to four-year colleges, including top schools like Harvard and Yale.

Macaulay Honors College at the City University of New York (CUNY), New York, N.Y.
Undergraduates: 1,730
Tuition: $5,730
To get the full-tuition scholarship, students must be New York state residents. Macaulay students are spread out over eight campuses in five boroughs. In addition to the tuition coverage, each student gets a laptop, free tech support and a $7,500 “opportunities fund,” to encourage study abroad, internships and community service. Out-of-state students admitted to the program pay tuition of $15,300

Webb Institute, Glen Cove, N.Y.
Undergraduates: 85
Tuition: $41,000
The highly selective school covers complete tuition. All do a double major in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. Students are also required to work in some aspect of the marine industry for two months, in January and February. Students keep what they earn in the internships.

THANKS FOR MAKING A DIFFERENCE....EVERYONE!!...WE CAN DO THIS...IT TAKES A VILLAGE!!! : ) GOD BLESS.....

Even if you do not have a college-aged child at home, please share this with someone who does, pass this scholarship information on to anyone and everyone that comes to mind. Though there are a number of companies and organizations that have donated monies for scholarships use to African Americans, a great deal of the money is being returned because of a lack of interest.

No one is going to knock on our doors and ask if we can use a scholarship. Take the initiative to get your children involved. There is no need for money to be returned to donating companies because we fail to apply for it. Please pass this information on to family members, nieces, nephews, friends with children etc. We must get the word out that money is available. If you are a college student or getting ready to become one , you probably already know how useful additional money can be. Our youth really could use these scholarships. Thanks!
