Yale University is going tuition-free for undergraduates from families with incomes of less than $200,000, following recent moves by peers including Harvard University to broaden access.

Enhanced financial aid will ensure that students from such families will “receive need-based scholarships that meet or exceed the cost of tuition,” Yale said in a statement Tuesday. The changes, which take effect in the 2026-2027 academic year, will also eliminate all expected costs for families with typical assets and incomes below $100,000.

Median income in the US is less than $100K, which means a young talented American person can get free education from the Ivies, where typical full tuition is $100/year. Essentially, rich foreigners are paying for Americans and when Trump prevents them from entering the US he forces tuition fees on the middle class.

250–500 в год, если прикинуть, что они направляют несколько сотен миллионов на эти цели каждый год.

Ну если у них енролмент одних только бакалавров порядка 2 тысяч в год, то 250 человек их действительно не разорят.
Колледжный спорт поднимется, хотя он у и так, наверное, неплохой

У них модель другая. Даже если десяток из этих студентов станет успешными в бизнесе (шансы на это очень высокие), то все окупится за счет донатов и последующих инвестиций.
