Odyssey Scholarships at the University of Chicago

I missed this one the first time around. On May 30, 2007, the University of Chicago announced that it had received a $100 million dollar gift that would be used to fund the new Odyssey Scholarships. The funds will be used to increase aid and eliminate loans to those financially needy students whose family incomes range under $60,000 per year. It will also relieve one half the loans to students with family income in the $60,000 to $75,000 range.
