Four public universities in Massachusetts recently announced a free tuition program that covers illegal immigrants.
The four University of Massachusetts undergraduate campuses — UMass Amherst, UMass Boston, UMass Darmouth, and UMass Lowell — announced that they will cover tuition and mandatory fees at University of Massachusetts campuses for undergraduate students from households earning $75,000 per year or less, starting next school year, according to a press release from the office of UMass President Marty Meehan. The four UMass undergraduate schools have 53,902 undergraduate students, according to the UMass web site.
