CAMBRIDGE - MIT says that starting in the fall of 2025, students from families with incomes under $200,000 a year will not be charged tuition.
Families making under $100,000 will not have to pay housing, dining or other fees, and they'll have an allowance for books and other personal expenses.
Currently, the university in Cambridge, Massachusetts waives tuition for families earning less than $140,000 and fees are also covered for those making less than $75,000.
Families who make more than $200,000 a year can still receive need-based financial aid, MIT says.
Brandeis University in Waltham said on Tuesday that starting next fall it would waive tuition for students with families making less than $75,000 a year.
Families earning less than $200,000 a year will get grants and scholarships to cover half of tuition, which is over $67,000 a year.
UMass Boston last month said Massachusetts residents making less than $75,000 a year will not have to pay tuition or mandatory fees. »
