Schools and Universities Open Their Doors

Colleges and Universities are offering Hurricane-displaced students opportunities to continue studies via Society for College and University Listserv. Most are offering students the opportunity to continue their studies on their campuses temporarily during the recovery period. Wayne State University is offering free admission and housing to students from universities closed due to Hurricane Katrina. WSU is reaching out to undergraduate, graduate and law students. For those enrolled in schools where they already paid their tuition WSU is offering a full tuition waiver for the fall 2005 semester. Students may be eligible for other assistance on a case-by-case basis. "Our admissions staff is ready to work with these students," said Susan Zwieg, executive director of undergraduate admissions and student financial aid.
