UMass Undergrads Get $1,100 Fee Rebate

Federal stimulus money will allow some 20,000 undergraduates in the University of Massachusetts system to get fee rebates of $1,100 apiece this year, The Boston Globe reports. The money will mostly offset a $1,500 fee increase that the board of trustees imposed in February. Students on the Amherst, Boston, Dartmouth, and Lowell campuses will benefit. Some students on financial aid will be eligible for partial rebates.
