In financial aid news thats sure to be popular with smart prospective students in the middle class and below who would like to attend an elite university like Stanford, San Francisco Chronicle reports:
In a radical change to its financial aid program, Stanford University will announce today that it will no longer charge tuition to students whose families earn less than $100,000 a year.
In addition, the university will waive room and board fees for students whose families earn less than $60,000 a year.
I hope other elite universities are able to follow suit.

Not only to help out some less fortunate and middle class folks who would otherwise be attending less academically oriented schools, but I think over the next decade Stanford is making a move to become even more of an academic powerhouse.

I am interested in receiving a MT and a JD degree jointly there. Do I qualify for such a program if I’m working now?
Thanks for you response!
