Harvard University will give free tuition to students from families earning $200,000 (£154,000) or less per year.
This new policy will start in the 2025-26 academic year. It is meant to help more students afford a Harvard education.
Harvard President Alan Garber said the goal is to make sure all admitted students can attend the university, no matter their financial situation. He also said that bringing students from different backgrounds together will help them learn and grow.
Right now, Harvard is very expensive. Tuition for the 2024-25 school year costs $56,550. When you add other expenses like housing, food, and health insurance, the total cost can be more than $80,000 a year. The new policy will reduce these costs for many families.
