Free Tuition at Northwestern

Free tuition at NU? It's in their genes

Imagine being able to attend Northwestern University -- the most expensive school in the Chicago area -- and pay nothing in tuition.

Well, almost nothing.

Arlington Heights resident Mac LeBuhn's great-great-great-great uncle bought a perpetual scholarship to the Evanston school for $100 in 1866.

With it, he was granted free tuition for himself, his sons -- and all of his descendants accepted to Northwestern.

To LeBuhn, the only student on campus with such a deal, the value over four years will be well over $134,000
