Lone Star Alert – UNT offers free tuition*
Reported by MATTHEW ZABEL / Denton Record-Chronicle Gretchen Bataille wants to send a message to high school seniors: College is not out of the question, even for students from families with modest means. "People who consider themselves poor don't even think about college, because they see that as something they can't afford," said Dr. Bataille, president of the University of North Texas. That perception needs to change, she says, and a new scholarship program at the school should help.
