SFSC Offers Tuition Break to Victims of Hurricane Maria
Following last week’s destruction of Puerto Rico by Hurricane Maria, SFSC is offering in-state tuition to college students who are residents of the island.
“As a gesture of goodwill and compassion for our friends and neighbors in Puerto Rico, the governor has reached out and asked those of us in the Florida College System and Florida University System to lend a helping hand,” said Dr. Sidney Valentine, vice president for Academic and Student Services. “We’re most pleased to open our doors to those students who, under the circumstances, would otherwise not be able to continue their studies.”
In a Sept. 26 letter to the presidents of colleges and universities across Florida, Governor Rick Scott requested that they allow any student who has been displaced from their home in Puerto Rico by Hurricane Maria to be eligible for in-state tuition.
