Randolph-Macon College Opens Doors: Free Tuition and Room ..

Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Virginia, is offering immediate
assistance to college students who have been affected by Hurricane
Katrina.

Many students have paid their tuition for the upcoming fall semester to
one of the universities closed because of hurricane damage and refunds
are uncertain at this time.

Therefore, Randolph-Macon College is offering free tuition and room for
the 2005 fall semester to students who have this need. The college also
has created additional residential spaces for these students if they
need to live on campus.

Randolph-Macon College opens later than many other universities;
classes begin Monday, Sept. 5 and enrollments will be accepted until
Friday, Sept. 9.

"Our hope is that this effort will provide some relief to those
students who have been affected by this terrible disaster and give them
the opportunity to begin or continue their education this fall without
interruption," said R-MC President Roger H. Martin. "I know our
R-MC community will extend a warm welcome to them."

All correspondence should be directed to Steven Nape, R-MC's director
of admissions at (804) 752-7305 or at snape.TakeThisOut@rmc.edu.
