Tulane Offers Free Semester Program for Students Hit by Hurricane Maria

Thousands of college students in Puerto Rico were flooded out of their homes and schools nearly a month ago after Hurricane Maria hit the U.S. territory Sept. 20. As the island continues to struggle toward recovery, one New Orleans university is striving to aid students displaced by the Category 4 hurricane.  Tulane University is offering a guest semester program to students from colleges and universities in Puerto Rico. Students must apply by Nov. 1 to attend Tulane in the spring semester, and Tulane will have admitted students pay spring tuition at their home college.
