The Tiny Long Island College That Gives Every Admitted Student A Full-Tuition Scholarship

On the North Shore of Long Island, there is a college where nobody admitted pays tuition. Not a single student, not one semester. It is a small school with a big mission: training the people who design and build ships. In a time when college costs can follow graduates for decades, this place has held onto a tradition of generosity that feels almost old-fashioned.

Section 1 football: Somers back on top in A; Tuckahoe three-peats in D

Somers makes it five sectional titles in six years THIELLS – Maybe it was inevitable. When the season kicked off there were four teams making noise, but Somers experienced very little resistance on the way to another Section 1 Class A championship. The undefeated Tuskers quickly dispatched Clarkstown South, posting a 34-16 win over the unbeaten Vikings on Friday at North Rockland High School. The dynasty is very much intact. “Winning again is just incredible,” Cameron Violante said. “It feel amazing to come back here and win after what happened last year.” Somers got thumped in the final last fall by Rye. Tristan Iglesias threw four more touchdown passes and built a 27-0 lead by halftime. And the defense was playing well, too, diagnosing plays before the snap and winning battles at the line and shutting down South in a hurry. “I think we see these Section 1 championship banners everywhere and it gets us excited,” Iglesias said. “We get up for these games. Everyone wants to go out there and play their absolute best. We love the pressure. We love to get out there for the playoffs. I think it sparks a fire in us.” The Vikings came out

New anti-elitist college rankings put Universities of Texas, Florida on top — in shock result

A New York think tank just came out with its own proprietary college rankings, and the results probably aren’t what you’d expect: the University of Texas at Austin at number one, Yale all the way down at number ten, and Arizona State ranked higher than Stanford. The rankings may be surprising, but, according to the Manhattan Institute (MI), they’re meant to subvert academic snobbery and scrutinize the value of an education. In their own words, the rankings “judge schools by present performance, not past prestige.” “Other prestige-focused rankings offer little insight into the content of the education students will receive, the classroom and campus environment they will inhabit, or the values that will surround them,” the think tank said in a press release . The rankings score 115 schools using 95 variables. The top schools, according to MI’s calculations: University of Texas at Austin, University of Florida, and Notre Dame. And at the very bottom: Smith College and Oberlin College. University of Texas at Austin ranked number one in the Manhattan Institute’s college rankings for 2026.

NYC meets class size target, but only after state lowers the bar and city changes its math

Keep Chalkbeat’s valuable education coverage at the top of your feeds by clicking here and checking the box next to our name. New York City public schools not only met the state-mandated targets to shrink classes, they surpassed the goal, Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced Friday. Nearly three-quarters of classes across New York City’s public schools are capped at 20 to 25 students, depending on the grade. The city cleared the state’s benchmark for two reasons. First, state lawmakers moved the goal post when they agreed in June to give the city more time to comply with the law, requiring 70% of classes meet the caps this school year instead of the original target of 80%. Additionally, the city made a change in which classes it counted toward class-size compliance. Officials added to the calculation for the first time “cluster” classes in elementary schools — courses like science, art, physical education, and music that are not taught by students’ typical classroom teacher. Without counting cluster classes, 69.5% of classes would have met the caps, schools Chancellor Kamar Samuels said, just shy of the new requirement. Unlike last
