M.I.T. to Offer Free Tuition to Families Earning Less Than $200,000

[Hume]

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology announced on Wednesday that it would eliminate tuition costs next fall for all undergraduate students whose families earn less than $200,000 per year — following a national movement to try to make higher education more accessible.

For students whose families earn less than $100,000 per year, the university will also cover all other costs, including housing, dining, fees and an allowance for books and personal expenses.

Yes, I'd like to see how many students they accept.

It is not unusual for MIT students to come from poorer families, especially immigrant families. And $200k is hardly that poor.

Poorer people like studying solid subjects, like engineering.
