In the third and fourth rounds, teams can charge a premium to foreign students, and in the fifth and sixth rounds, teams can set tuition as a percent of a student's household wealth. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
