Massachusetts Institute of Technology, one of the top-ranked universities in the world, will cover tuition for undergraduate students from American families with incomes under $200,000, starting fall 2025, according to a press release.

The updated threshold will be met by 80% of American families, meaning a majority of incoming students will receive a tuition-free education at the university in Cambridge, Massachusetts, according to MIT.
