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.

Essentially, rich foreigners are paying for Americans and when Trump prevents them from entering the US he forces tuition fees on the middle class.
