Portland college offers free tuition to Black and Native American students

Wayfinding Academy's Free Tuition Initiative Program was born as a way to "meet the moment" after the death of George Floyd — a Black man killed by Minneapolis police last year.

Non-breaking news...@WayfindingAcad doesn't ask students for test scores or GPAs in our admissions process. Never have. Never will. Abolish standardized testing. #collegeadmissions #testoptional
