Anonymous donor pays tab for graduates of historically Black college in Texas: "You are debt-free"
CBSN
Students graduating from a historically Black college in East Texas were told at their commencement ceremony that an anonymous donor had paid their balances, officials said.
Wiley College said in a news release that over 100 students were gathered for graduation Saturday when the school's president made the announcement. The college posted a video of the ceremony with the students being told, "You are debt-free. You do not owe the college a penny."
"We are constantly communicating with donors to assist students in these ways so that they can begin their after-college experience with less debt," Herman J. Felton Jr., Wiley's president and CEO, said in the news release.
