Show Notes
Yale University will allow students from households earning up to $200,000 a year to attend tuition-free beginning in fall 2026, the university confirmed this week, expanding a financial aid policy that has been in place for several years. The threshold had previously been set at $150,000.
Under the updated policy, families earning up to $100,000 annually will continue to pay nothing at all — covering tuition, housing, meals, and other required costs. Families earning between $100,000 and $200,000 will no longer be charged tuition, though they may still have to pay for room and board.
