Massachusetts Institute of Technology to waive tuition for families making less than $200K [View all]
https://abcnews.go.com/US/massachusetts-institute-technology-waive-tuition-families-making-200k/story?id=116054921One of the most prestigious universities in America has made a landmark decision to offer the majority of its incoming undergraduate students a tuition-free education.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology announced on Wednesday that students with family income below $200,000 can expect to attend the Cambridge institution tuition-free starting next fall.
The bulk of American households meet this income threshold, according to the university, which says the new policy will cover 80% of its incoming classes.
Additionally, students whose family income is below $100,000 will see their entire MIT experience paid for, including tuition, housing, dining, fees and an allowance for books and personal expenses.

Nice friends!
