Summary
Harvard announced that, starting in the 2025-2026 academic year, it will not charge tuition for students from families earning under $200,000.
Students from households making less than $100,000 will attend for free. Previously, free tuition applied only to families earning under $85,000.
The expansion aims to make Harvard more accessible to middle-income families.
This follows similar moves by other wealthy universities, including MIT, which expanded its financial aid last November.
Waiting for study revealing that they’re selective about only taking in people who wouldn’t qualify for it…
I could be wrong, but I think they’re wealthy enough for money not to be important in that sense. If they accept you, they want to minimize barriers for you to attend.
That doesn’t mean that most of the people who get in have been trained for years for that and have loads of money. In other words, the problem is social inequality.
