## Resource

Howard University stunned students and families by unenrolling nearly 500 just weeks before fall semester, citing missed tuition deadlines—even though many had full scholarships. Cylia Rose Parker, set to begin with over $40K in aid covering her $39K tuition, was blindsided when her spot vanished without warning. She never got a notification that her aid hadn’t been applied, and despite a university review, her enrollment was ultimately denied—along with her $800 housing deposit. Now, Parker’s chasing other schools, while Howard remains silent on her case, leaving students scrambling as classes loom.
