Students at St. Louis Christian College received one very big Valentine from the college’s administration as the decision was announced yesterday that each one would receive free tuition starting this Fall.

Students were jubilant at the announcement, knowing they would be graduating with much less debt. Prior to Monday’s pronouncement, students taking 12 credit hours would have paid 10,000 dollars per year. Beginning the Fall semester, pupils would pay increased room and board fees and a new student services fee, but no tuition. "My mom didn't believe me," said Hannah Kroeger, a student at the bible college, “When she finally did, I think she about had tears in her eyes.”
