NORTH MANCHESTER/FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): It just got a lot cheaper for some to pursue a higher education locally.
Manchester University has launched a program to eliminate out-of-pocket tuition expenses for Indiana first-year students entering MU in the fall of 2021, for all four years of their college career.
The Indiana Tuition Bridge Program will allow the school to combine a student’s Indiana state grant and federal grant funding with MU scholarships, with the University bridging the gap between that combined amount and full-time tuition.
Students must have an adjusted gross income of $65,000 a year or less, be an Indiana resident, and live on campus.

This is a great step in helping the low income family. It is unfortunate however that a two income family of first responders ( I.E. fireman and nurse ) + a small part time job by the student will push this type of hard working family over the line. A lot of programs are available for the low income families via federal and state as well as private funds but Maybe it is time to help our dedicated first responder families for once. Most have given up a lot to support the community when they could of easily gone another career path and made significantly more money.
