Yale Goes Tuition-Free for Families Making Below $200,000
Yale's expanded aid covers full attendance costs for families earning under $100,000 and tuition for those up to $200,000, making over 80% of U.S. households eligible, the university said.
- Today, Yale University announced significant enhancements to its undergraduate financial aid program, lowering costs for future Yale undergraduates and ensuring families and prospective students face no financial barriers.
- Facing increased competition, Yale administrators linked expanded aid to preserve diversity after the Supreme Court decision in SFFA v. Harvard and SFFA v. UNC and recent free-tuition moves at other colleges and universities.
- Yale reiterated that its longstanding zero parent share awards cover full billed expenses plus estimated travel, hospitalization insurance, and a $2,000 start-up grant, complemented by MyinTuition Quick Cost Estimator and Instant Net Price Estimator.
- By raising the $100,000 threshold, nearly half of American households with children ages 6-17 qualify for full-ride aid, and over 80% of families under $200,000 are eligible, the university said.
- Yale framed the move as part of a long institutional tradition, with changes taking effect for students entering the 2026-2027 academic year, and Jeremiah Quinlan said, `We have made a lot of progress with low-income families and students over the past decade, and now we want to continue to make those inroads with some of our middle-class and upper-middle-class families.
