Harvard University announced tuition will be free for families who earn less than $200,000 per year.
This means roughly 86% of US families will qualify.
Families earning less than $100,000 are eligible for coverage of expenses such as housing and health insurance as well.
This news comes as the Trump administration targets university funding as part of its deeply concerning initiative to erase diversity equity and inclusion (DEI) practices.
“Putting Harvard within financial reach for more individuals widens the array of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives that all of our students encounter, fostering their intellectual and personal growth,” said Harvard President Alan Garber.
The policy will take effect during the 2025 to 2026 academic year.
Garber added that it will help “make a Harvard College education possible for every admitted student.”
