Yale University is eliminating tuition and other costs for all new undergraduates from families earning less than $100,000 a year, joining a growing number of elite campuses that are slashing costs for middle- and lower-income families. The Ivy League school announced the change Tuesday and said it will take effect for students entering this fall. Yale previously waived all expected costs for students from families earning less than $75,000 a year.

Coppin State University in Baltimore announced in 2023 that it would begin offering in-state tuition to any student who lived in one of the 41 U.S. states and territories without an HBCU-as well as the District of Columbia, which has two HBCUs-through a program called Expand Eagle Nation. In 2024, the first year of the program, the institution more than doubled the number of students from qualifying states to 195-up from 81 the previous fall.

UC regents are considering tuition increases amidst financial uncertainty, with the possibility of reducing financial aid funding from those revenues.
