Harvard announces it won’t charge tuition to families with incomes under $200,000

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.
