For families earning $100,000 or less, the initiative will also cover fees and living expenses. This "no-loan" policy is supported by a $1.8 billion gift given by a billionaire alumni.

That’s not what OP thinks she is talking about. Most elite schools now offer something similar but it’s tuition only so the family still has to come up with $30 - $50 for room, board, books, expenses, travel, health care, computer etc

Here is a gift link. You might have to register but not pay.

It's honestly shameful Radford is on this list but VT isn't. Maybe Sands need rethink their financial priorities.

Oh, good point. I don't think the Post's tool was built to be able to recognize a free college with a mission to ONLY accept kids with limited means. (My grandfather was a Berea grad - it's a special place.)

Anyone can ask an ai chatbot to regenerate a list with the same information
