Wayne State University announced that students who enroll for fall 2006 under The Kalamazoo Promise program will be offered a 50 percent reduction in their room costs in the WSU residence halls. The offer will be good for four years to participating students providing they remain eligible for and are in receipt of a tuition scholarship from The Kalamazoo Promise. "This is our way of demonstrating support for both the visionary donors underwriting the program and Gov. Jennifer Granholm's challenge to Michigan 's universities to encourage citizens to pursue higher education," said Wayne State University President Irvin D. Reid . "We are proud to offer this incentive to our students as a further enhancement of the university's admissions strategy of providing affordable access to education."
