Go to College for $0 – 13 Free Tuition Options
By Kathryn Knight
December 10, 2010
Throughout the past decade, the average cost of tuition has been steadily increasing at 5.6% each year, according to College Board. College costs continue to outpace inflation rates, causing families to make tough calls when searching and choosing the best education experience. Sometimes it results in students having to sacrifice their first choice.
Other times, the decision is even more difficult, requiring students to wait a few years before continuing their education.
While this is a grim picture, there are instances of a silver lining. Take, for example, the 15 or so colleges in the country that offer free tuition. That’s right – students pay $0 for the education they deserve.
Most of these schools are able to offer free tuition because of the large endowment on hand. Others, get a little creative, requiring students to work 15 hours a week to sustain campus operations.

For the life of me I don't understand why our government (or any government for that matter) doesn't already do this for all people seeking higher education. Tuition covered for all and even more incentive like free books/room and board for people who go into a field that the government needs employees in. Sure, there should be rules, like maintain a 2.5 GPA or you'll start paying for it. Within ten years we would have an incredibly well educated population that might actually be prepared to start solving the problems we face like a failed economy, the obesity epidemic, other serious illnesses like cancer and so much more.

Thanks for this list! To PeterN142 and others from around the world, when I visit college campuses in NE with my daughter - ConnCollege, Wesleyan, Brown, Trinity - they are super interested in providing a multicultural environment where students from around the world can make the campus a rich place, culturally. Americans don't travel much and although we are made of all nations, we are pretty desperately in need of more cultural awareness! Try the Ivy League and the Little Ivies - they have money and want to be more of a mix!
