Tuition for D.C. Students to Remain Unchanged Despite Budget Deadlock
By Charles Dervarics
Despite budget stalemates on other budget issues, tuition breaks for District of Columbia high school graduates should remain unchanged in 2003.
House and Senate panels have approved bills providing $17 million for these tuition credits, which allow D.C. graduates to pay in-state tuition rates at any public college or university nationwide. High school graduates also can get tuition discounts at Black colleges nationwide and at private colleges in the Washington area.
