THE BUZZ!
Harvard says tuition will be free for families making $200K or less
If you’ve ever thought about getting an Ivy League Education. Well it might be more of a possibility for some after Harvard’s big announcement.
The University just dropped a major update: starting in 2025, students from families earning $200,000 or less will have tuition completely covered.
86% of U.S. families will now qualify for financial aid, and if you’re from a family making $100,000 or less, you’ll also get housing, food, and health services covered—Harvard’s got you!
This is part of Harvard’s bigger push to make education more accessible, with over $3.6 billion in financial aid awarded since 2004. It’s a huge step in opening up opportunities for students from all walks of life.
Keep in mind how much it actually costs to attend Harvard. According to their website, the average annual tuition for an undergraduate student is $56,550. But with the addition of housing, food, health services and other student services, the annual cost of attending Harvard is $82,866.
Great news for those who can meet the academic and other requirements to get in to a school like Harvard but couldn’t because of financial challenges.
