Harvard To Raise Income Threshold For Free Tuition
(Boston, MA) -- Harvard University will make tuition free for more students. The school announced on Monday that it is eliminating tuition for students from families earning up to 200-thousand dollars annually. That's a big push up from the previous 85-thousand-dollar income threshold. This, as elite universities look for ways to maintain campus diversity now that the Supreme Court has banned race-based admissions practices. Harvard joins schools including MIT, the University of Pennsylvania and Caltech with similar thresholds for free tuition.
