Harvard and the Extension School respond to Katrina

Harvard has responded to the disaster in the South in a number of ways. The Harvard Extension School has really stepped up the plate, I am proud to say. This is from the Extension School website:

The Harvard Extension School is pleased to join with Harvard University in extending learning opportunities to students affected by the Hurricane Katrina devastation in the Gulf Coast region. We will waive the tuition for up to four courses in the fall 2005 term for eligible students. Eligible students include people who would normally be attending college or graduate school in the flooded areas of the Gulf Coast. Students may enroll in on-campus or online courses. Scholarships for online courses are limited, so students are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.

Eligible students also include high school students from the Gulf Coast who come to the Boston area to attend local schools for the term and who want to enroll in up to two on-campus courses that meet AP requirements.
