10. University of the Virgin Islands
The University of Virgin Islands (UVI) is a land-grant university located in the picturesque isles of St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John. Founded in 1962 as the College of the Virgin Islands, it is one of the 101 historically black colleges and universities in the United States.
UVI follows a liberal arts curriculum for its business, Education, Humanities & Social Science, Nursing, and Science & mathematics programs. It also shares instruction with other American universities, such as Engineering (together with the University of Florida, Washington University – St. Louis, and the University of South Carolina) and Medicine (with Boston University).
UVI’s free tuition is offered to Virgin Islands residents regardless of age, family income, or date of graduation. To maintain this eligibility, the student needs to maintain a 2.50 GPA. After graduation, he/she should then work in the island chain for a specified time.
