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.

No kidding! It took my husband and I until 1992 to pay off all our student loans, and we even got a couple of little scholarships along the way.

I wish my sons were old enough to go to college...no tuition, room and board would be sweet.

Sounds like the only way I can send my kids to college is if I quit my job.
