Alumni removal

It looks like a bunch of notable alumni were removed in [1] this edit and should be restored. FloridaArmy (talk) 09:58, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think we have to be a bit conservative with which alumni we name as the list is quite long. I'm not opposing restoring these people though. —Panamitsu (talk) 10:00, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Tuition free"

Say you are a prospective Native American student. You have been accepted to both Berea and Fort Lewis College, two "tuition-free" schools for your demographic (Fort Lewis has a "tuition-free" policy for Native Americans). In addition, you have three grants and scholarships: a 6000$ annual Pell Grant, a 5000$ annual grant from the KFC Foundation, and an annual 3000$ Colorado State Grant. At Berea, all your scholarships and grants go toward your "free tuition." I've met multiple students in this scenario. So, you'll end up paying for your housing and meal plans. At Fort Lewis, tuition is entirely waived: you can use all your grants and scholarships for your own purposes. Given this, calling Berea "tuition-free" without clarification is misleading—technically, it isn't, at least not in the same way Fort Lewis is for Native American students.

Many colleges have similar programs for poor students; it's just that they don't label their programs "tuition free" and don't admit a class entirely of that demographic. 2600:387:15:1030:0:0:0:8 (talk) 22:17, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
