Gams007's post on South Texas College inspired me to search for more schools offering a tuition-free semester.

There were a few other schools offering a free semester, but the application deadlines passed. I also found schools that are offering free tuition to in-state or in-county residents only, local students facing hardships, and one that is offering online courses temporarily, but it wasn't clear if applicants had to follow on-campus admissions procedures. Here are more details if you want to check it out.

Clinton College is a TRACS-accredited HBCU. The entire 2021-2022 school year is tuition-free, and full-time students will also receive a free Surface Pro Laptop.

Clinton College apparently gives students a free Surface or Surface Pro laptop was well. I can't tell if any degree programs they offer are fully online. One of their pages lists a required in-person intro section.
