Amid Rising Costs, Some Schools Are Waiving Tuition Entirely​


You’ve heard the Middle Class Parent’s college affordability lament: America’s truly wealthy can pay full freight without blinking. America’s poor get financial help. Folks in the middle – the families who make six figures, own a home, save for retirement – can get caught in an aid desert.

That’s why I sat up and took notice when Middlebury College, an elite liberal arts school in Vermont, announced it’s going tuition-free for students with family incomes up to $175,000 “and typical assets.” The program will start with first-years next fall.
“We want to open our doors wide to ensure that talented and dedicated students from all backgrounds have the opportunity for a Middlebury education and the futures it opens,” Middlebury President Ian Baucom said. “In the coming years, we hope and expect to push the tuition-free threshold even higher.”
