Twelve years following Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, when universities and colleges around the country embraced Tulane students displaced by the storm, Tulane has announced that it will offer a tuition-free semester for students from universities and colleges in Puerto Rico. The program, offered for the spring 2018 semester, is also open to students in other areas affected by recent storms in the USVI and St. Maarten/St. Martin. Tulane is requesting that students pay tuition at their current school to aid schools in the recovery process. For more information visit the Tulane University Admissions Blog.
