WIDENER CARES

By Michelle Malkin  •  March 16, 2005 09:23 AM

Reader Richard Davis just heard on the radio (Michael Smerconish, WPHT Philadelphia) an interview with Widener University President Dr. James Harris.

According to Davis, Harris said Widener will begin giving four-year full scholarships to children whose military parent was killed in either Iraq or Afganistan.

The program, called “Widener Cares,” will give away four scholarships each year.

Apparently no other college or university in the country is doing this. [Ed: But see update below.]

Davis notes: “He said there are approximately 3,300 colleges and universities in the country and believes if each gave one scholarship to children of fallen soldiers, then they could all get educated via scholarships.”

Update, 9:48 am: Reader Jerod Cunningham says Oklahoma has been putting together a similar deal to give free tuition to any Oklahoma resident who has had a parent killed in the War on Terror.
