College tuitions rising toward $100,000 have prompted both private and public Massachusetts institutions to adopt free undergraduate tuition policies for families within specified income thresholds ranging from $75,000 to $200,000. Harvard and MIT are listed under the up-to-$200,000 threshold, with MIT providing additional support for households below $100,000. Mt. Holyoke, Smith, and Tufts are listed under the up-to-$150,000 threshold, and Smith’s free tuition applies to domestic and international students beginning fall 2026. Massachusetts community colleges have been free for eligible in-state students since fall 2024 when students have not earned a bachelor’s degree and apply through FAFSA. College Board research shows out-of-pocket costs have recently declined nationwide. Readers should check each school for additional qualifying requirements and start dates.
