No it does not include food shelter or clothing or transportation or entertainment or medical expences or spending money or birthday cakes but it does cover the tuition and $300 for books at least in Georgia.

"pulling random figures from questionable data"

The sources were all given If you care to look.

"Have you ever tried to pay your own way through university, Dickie?"

Why would one have to with free tuition? Whoever said going to colege was cheap? Bobert seems to be saying it is impossible for poor people. I have pointed out that there are sources for enabling them to go to college. Is this a good thing or not?

All you are doing is sending a message to poor people telling them they cannot afford to go to college so they will be poor forever.



Low-income in-state students at all 3 campuses will be eligible

By CHRISTINE FREY

Students from low-income homes will be able to attend the University of Washington free under an ambitious scholarship program the university intends to launch next year.

The UW said Wednesday that it would cover the costs of tuition and fees for all in-state students who quality for Pell or State Need grants. The university's new undergraduate scholarship offer, called Husky Promise, is guaranteed -- no matter how much tuition increases.

The intent is to improve access to higher education, particularly for students who are academically prepared for college but can't afford it.

"This is a very simple statement and commitment to the citizens of Washington that the University of Washington will always be accessible to them regardless of their financial circumstances," UW President Mark Emmert said in an interview.

Any new, continuing or transfer student who is a resident of Washington and meets financial requirements is eligible. The university expects to support about 5,000 undergraduates a year through the scholarship program at its Seattle, Bothell and Tacoma campuses.

Students from families who are at or below 65 percent of the state's median income -- 235 percent of the federal poverty level -- can receive scholarships. That means a family of four with an income of $46,500 or less would be eligible.
