Article Abstract: Two beneficiaries of the Iraqi Student Project, a non-profit with the goal of persuading American colleges and universities to provide tuition waivers for Iraqi refugees seeking undergraduate degrees, are taking a cross-country U.S. road trip before beginning college in this country. One of the students will be attending Goucher this fall.
