Langston University Clears $4.6 Million In Balances For Students Enrolled During ‘Pandemic Semesters’

Langston University announced that the school will clear student account balances for students who were enrolled from Spring 2020 to Summer 2021.

University President Kent J. Smith, Jr. explained that thanks to the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund more than $4.6 million in debt was erased.

“We know the hardship that our community has faced over the course of the pandemic," said Langston University Vice President of Academic Affairs, Dr. Ruth Jackson. We care about our students and their families. It is our hope that this will ease some of the financial burdens and provide our scholars more financial freedom in the future. We know for many of our students this will provide them the opportunity to continue in the academic journey.”

In a letter to students, the school says that the initiative will also include former students not currently enrolled at the institution as well as graduates who will now be cleared of any balance. For more information CLICK HERE
