""This new program underscores our commitment to ensuring that a world-class education is within reach for talented students from all socioeconomic backgrounds," said Tufts University President Sunil Kumar."
""The cost of higher education continues to be a major concern for families across the country," Tufts President Sunil Kumar said in the announcement. "By covering tuition for students from families earning under $150,000, we're not only easing that burden-we're sending a clear message that Tufts is committed to meeting the full need of all its students.""
""Some families see the sticker price and automatically shut the door without understanding how much aid they may qualify for," Dean of Admissions JT Duck said in the announcement. "You may see the sticker price and write it off. Please don't. Do a deeper dive on Tufts, because it might be more affordable than you realize.""
Beginning next fall, Tufts will cover undergraduate tuition for students from U.S. families with annual incomes below $150,000. Families with annual incomes under $60,000 will receive financial aid packages without student loans. Grants will cover at least full tuition and aid awards will meet demonstrated full need. Aid packages may include additional grants, loans, or work-study to help cover non-tuition costs such as housing and meals. The policy applies to U.S. families with typical assets who complete a financial aid application. The stated sticker price ranges from about $83,000 to $93,000, which the policy seeks to mitigate.
