If you know of a family earning less than $60,000 a year with an honor student graduating from high school soon, Harvard University wants to pay the tuition. The prestigious university recently announced that from now on undergraduate students from low-income families can go to Harvard for free... no tuition and no student loans!
Community College of Philadelphia cost $4,000 a year, so this scholarship will essentially cover the full cost of an associate's degree. The details and application are attached.

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 money for scholarship use to African
Americans, a great deal of the money is being returned because of a lack
of interest.
Please pass this information on to friend, family members. 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.
