Princeton University is expanding its financial aid program, announcing that most students from households making as much as $250,000 a year won’t pay tuition starting this fall.

Princeton also said families making $150,000 or less will have tuition and expenses covered. It’s part of the school’s plan to boost its overall financial aid spending for undergraduate students by about 16% to $327 million for the 2025-26 academic year, according to a statement.

The boost in financial aid for middle-class families follows similar initiatives recently unveiled by rival institutions such as Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania and MIT.

 

Great news. College education should be affordable.
