Harvard University will offer free tuition to families earning less than $200,000 a year, with additional expenses covered for those earning less than $100,000. The move aims to make Harvard more affordable for middle-income families and increase diversity on campus. The policy will begin in the 2025-2026 academic year and is expected to allow 86% of US families to qualify for financial aid. This comes as the Trump administration targets university funding as part of a crackdown on diversity equity and inclusion practices.
