That’s the family income cutoff under which Yale University will offer free tuition, beginning with the 2026–27 academic year. Families earning less than $100,000 will qualify for full cost-of-attendance coverage, including housing and meals. The change means more than 80 percent of U.S. families will be eligible for free tuition at Yale, where annual tuition is set to reach $72,500, as the Ivy League continues expanding financial aid to broaden access.
