(Urbana, IL) — The University of Illinois is promising free tuition to some Illinois students. The school Monday announced a plan to spend four-million-dollars on free tuition for students from families who make less than 61-thousand-dollars a year and have less than 50-thousand-dollars in assets. But critics say, with tuition, room, board, and fees running nearly 35-thousand-dollars a year at the U of I, the program will only help a few hundred students.
