Free tuition at MSU: Who benefits?

There may be no such thing as a free lunch, but for thousands of Montana college students, there’s something even better – free tuition.

This year the Montana University System expects to offer tuition waivers and scholarships worth more than $48 million to more than 3,600 students statewide. The dollar total has grown nearly $8 million in the last five years.

Montana State University, the state’s largest and fastest growing campus, awards the most free tuition. This year it plans to award $24.8 million in tuition waivers and scholarships. That’s nearly double the awards in 2010.
