University Of Chicago To Pay Tuition For Families With Incomes Below $250,000
The school said the change will cover tuition for about 90% of U.S. households and add housing, meals and fees for lower-income families.
- On Wednesday, the University of Chicago announced free tuition for undergraduate students from families earning less than $250,000 annually, beginning fall 2027.
- University President Paul Alivisatos said the initiative reflects the school's belief that financial barriers should not prevent talented students from attending.
- Nearly 90% of U.S. families will qualify under the new initiative, with free housing, meals, and fees provided for families earning less than $125,000.
- As elite institutions increasingly adopt free tuition, the university aligns with Yale University, Columbia University, and Harvard University to address rising college costs.
- Expanding undergraduate enrollment to around 9,000 students, the institution will continue providing over $225 million in annual financial aid as part of a "multiyear plan" announced by University Provost Katherine Baicker.
