The University of Texas System will offer free tuition for undergraduates whose families make less than $100,000 per year.

The Board of Regents’ Academic Affairs Committee gave preliminary approval to the “Promise Plus” program, the school system announced on Wednesday. Starting in the fall 2025, qualifying students at any of UT’s nine academic institutions across the state can participate in the program.
