Harvard could have done this years ago. They have more money than some small countries.

Harvard says tuition will be free for families making $200K or less
Harvard University on Monday announced that tuition will be free for students from families with annual incomes of $200,000 or less starting in the 2025-26 academic year.
“Putting Harvard within financial reach for more individuals widens the array of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives that all of our students encounter, fostering their intellectual and personal growth,” Harvard University President Alan M. Garber said in a statement. “By bringing people of outstanding promise together to learn with and from one another, we truly realize the tremendous potential of the University.”
The new plan will enable about 86% of U.S. families to qualify for Harvard financial aid and expand the Ivy League college’s commitment to providing all undergrads the resources they need to enroll and graduate, according to Garber.
Undergraduate students from families with annual incomes of $100,000 or less will not only have tuition covered but also housing, food, health services and other student services, the university said.
Students from a family making an annual income of $200,000 or less will be able to attend Harvard tuition-free, according to the school.
According to Harvard’s website, the average annual tuition for an undergraduate student is $56,550. But with the addition of housing, food, health services and other student services, the annual cost of attending Harvard is $82,866, according to the university.
Harvard enrolls about about 24,600 undergraduate students a year. In 2024, the Cambridge, Massachusetts, school accepted 3.59% of the 54,000 applicants for the Class of 2028.

I wonder how many admissions they have from these income levels….probably not many.
from 2017 :
14. Harvard University
> Total federal funds: $550.5 million
> Annual R&D expenditure: $1.0 billion
> 2015 enrollment: 29,652
> 2016 endowment: $34.5 billion
so why are taxpayers still funding ANY public education?
b/c we have been forced/told that its the humane thing to do
it is not
but then this:
In fiscal year 2024, the University received $686 million from federal agencies, accounting for two-thirds of its total sponsored research expenditures and 11 percent of the University’s operating revenue.
“We could not carry out our mission the way we do now without substantial federal research support, nor could we provide the benefits to the nation that we do now without that support,” Harvard President Alan M. Garber ’76 said in a December interview with The Crimson.
they received (at least)$ 130 million more than the 2017 report
and said w/o the feds they cant do r/d etc
so why are they able to do free tuition?
b/c like a eurotrash socialist countries …others are paying for their lifestyles
Harvard does something right for once.
Which tells us what we already knew: Most Harvard students come from elite backgrounds.
