Harvard University announced Monday that it was expanding its financial aid by making Harvard College free for students from families earning $100,000 or less starting in the 2025-26 academic year.
The aid will cover all major costs, including tuition, food, housing, health insurance, and travel. Eligible students will also get a $2,000 grant in their first year to help them settle in and another $2,000 in their junior year to support their transition after college, the official statement mentioned.
