Following other universities across the country, New York University announced on Thursday that it will offer free tuition next semester to about 50 students from Puerto Rico whose studies were interrupted by Hurricane Maria.

N.Y.U. began accepting applications on Thursday and will accept students into its undergraduate programs on a rolling basis. In addition to tuition, admitted students will receive free housing, health insurance and a meal plan.

“The situation in Puerto Rico is obviously something that we’ve all been watching with great concern over the last several weeks,” said Andrew Hamilton, the president of the university. “We’re pleased to be able to do this.”

Full-time tuition at N.Y.U., which is $25,232 for 2017-18 school year, will be waived for the students. However, the students will have to pay their spring semester tuition to their home universities.
