## Resource

Anil Kochhar and his wife Marilyn made a monumental announcement at North Carolina State Universitys Wilson College of Textiles graduation, eliminating every student loan for the 2025 and 2026 academic years. This generous act, honoring Kochhars late father, freed 176 bachelors recipients and 26 masters grads from debt, sparking an emotional reaction from the graduates and university officials. The exact amount is yet to be disclosed, but the move is hailed as a significant step towards keeping the college affordable. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
