AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
The University of Chicago announced that, beginning in fall 2027, it will waive tuition for undergraduate students whose families earn under $250,000 a year and will also cover housing, meals and other fees for those from families earning under $125,000. The move, described by President Paul Alivisatos as a step to keep “the brightest minds” accessible to middle‑ and upper‑middle‑income families, comes as the school’s total cost of attendance nears $100,000 annually (with tuition alone about $71,000). The university already provides roughly $75,000 in average aid per student and $225 million in aid each year, and the new policy joins similar initiatives at Harvard, Columbia, MIT, Northwestern and other top schools that have begun offering tuition‑free education to families below certain income thresholds.
