I was born and raised in Detroit and have many family members still there, some of whom are - or were - employed by the auto industry. Fortunately, I can help some of those who lost, or are losing their tuition assistance. The university I am affiliated with, Andrew Jackson University, just introduced a sponsored zero-tuition program that brings total cost per semester (up to four courses) to between $400 and $600, not including books. It's for real, and there's no catch, so check it out at www.aju.edu. But don't tarry as the zero tuition program is initially limited to 100 new enrollments per month. (We'll increase the monthly limit as we line up more sponsors.)
