Bartering for tuition saves students through EAL program
The Educational Assistance Ltd program matches companies goods and services to fund college tuition credits at about 140 small liberal arts colleges and a few universities. Since its start, roughly 425 students have received about $2 million in scholarships funded by donors like Allied Van Lines and Grainger. The system relies on gift assets such as plumbing fixtures, office furniture, and vans, with colleges applying credits toward needy students.
