ok... I understand the "nice gesture" thing... but it seems kind of hokey... maybe they should offer free tuition to another sibling or family member... or something more substantial...

What else can they do? It is kinda hokey sounding though....

To honor their memory and just a kind gesture to the families. It is not their faults they won't be able to graduate now. The only one not deserving is the killer.

Provides comfort for the victims families. Though it wouldn't help in getting placed for a job.

If you were killed, would you want your parents to be comforted? it is a very nice gesture. No harm comes from it only a good feeling.

It is called honor and courage. It may be of no use to them now but they didn't die for nothing. It gives their families something to remember what they died for. An education something that is very important in all of our lives no matter what our age is or who we are.

Its a way of paying honor to the deceased. I mean it is for the Parents and Friends, to help comfort them.

To show their respect. They deserve those degrees because they had to suffer and were murdered

Respect for all the hard work they did while alive.
