Displaced Students
It looks like even the top-tier universities are happy to help with the educational needs of students that have been displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
From CMU:
We have spoken with a small number of Tulane students and have offered them the opportunity to take the fall semester here as non-degree students, with attendant student supports, including housing and dining. We are also in close contact with the Association of American Universities (AAU) and other colleges and universities involved in helping students from the affected area, in order to ensure that we act in a coordinated fashion to provide the most relevant support to students in need.
From MIT:
MIT is hosting 14 undergraduates from affected areas, and has accepted 15 graduate students. For the fall term, MIT will waive tuition and fees for visiting students displaced by the hurricane and will provide free housing in available rooms in fraternities, sororities and independent living groups.
From Harvard:
Harvard University has made a commitment to enroll 25 additional Visiting Undergraduate Students for the Fall 2005 Term from colleges and universities that will not reopen this fall due to Hurricane Katrina.
From Stanford:
Stanford has completed the application process for its temporary undergraduate admission program for students affected by Hurricane Katrina and has offered admission to 36 undergraduates. We look forward to greeting those students when classes begin in late September.
Isn't that neat? :)
