Harvard University has expanded significantly in its scholarship program for the 2025-26 academic year, announcing tuition as free for students whose families earn as much as $200,000 a year.
Families with incomes below $100,000 will also be given full aid, including shelter, meals, and medical care.
The initiative will offer improved access to one of the world’s best universities to almost 86% of American families.
By enrolling a more diversified socioeconomic student population, Harvard is strengthening its dedication to education equity.
Along with the continuation of prior efforts, this program reduces loans and presents them as non-repayable grants so that students can focus on studies without financial concerns.
The growth marks a significant achievement in affordable higher education in America.
