Portland State Magazine Spring 2018

6 LOW-INCOME Oregon college students transferring to Portland State will no longer have to pay tuition beginning in fall 2018 if they enroll full-time and are eligible for the federal Pell Grant. The new Transfers Finish Free program will cover base tuition and mandatory fees for up to 15 credits per term for eligible transfer students from any community college or four- year college. The program follows on the success of Four Years Free, which was launched in fall 2017 to cover tuition for low-income freshmen. More than 500 students were helped by the program, many of whom would have been unable to attend PSU without it. Free is a very good price PARK BLOCKS
