Hampton University is lending a hand to students in the Bahamas displaced by Hurricane Dorian.
The Hampton, Virginia, school is offering University of Bahamas students free tuition and free housing for the fall semester after the storm battered the island for nearly two days, according to a statement from the university.
Dorian, which reached the Bahamas as a Category 5 storm, left"generational devastation" across the Abaco Islands and Grand Bahama, which are both in the archipelago's northern region, east of southern Florida. Dr. William R. Harvey, Hampton University president, said he hoped to give students the chance"to achieve and meet their goals."
