Colleges Accepting Katrina Displaced Students
Submitted by scturner on September 4, 2005 - 11:49pm. Other Katrina infoThis Live Journal site conveniently indexes many U.S. colleges and universities offering shelter and/or enrollment to undergraduate, graduate, and professional students whose studies have been disrupted by Hurricane Katrina. At this point the list has grown so large that it has grown into three separate, alphabetically organized pages. Each listing includes a small amount of information about the types of aid each college or university is providing, and a link to relevant websites being maintained by the college or university itself. Note that some schools are only offering aid to residents of their own state who were attending college in hurricane stricken regions.
