New exit window for students in the United States. New options for university scholarships and full Tiition subsidies have been launched, depending on the level of students’ income and the academic position. These full consultation scholarships allow students to frequent the university without having to pay the courses or contract student loans. A scholarship differs from a subsidy in that subsidies are allocated according to financial needs, but scholarships are reserved for exceptional students.
In 2023, the average cost of a four -year university degree was $ 17,709 per year, but this figure is much higher in the most prestigious institutions. This represents an increase of 42% since 2000, even by adjusting inflation.
Here are some of the best scholarships:

More than 46 million Americans have a student loan debt
Millions of students regularly contract loans to cover their education costs, but some colleges in fact offer fully free tuition fees for those who meet certain criteria. More than 46 million Americans have a student loan debt, representing a national debt of nearly 2 dollars. While former President Joe Biden has progressed in the provision of student loans through various programs, President Donald Trump challenged the power of the Ministry of Education and called for massive layoffs to the agency.
The Harvard College will be without tuition for students from families with an annual income of $ 100,000 or less
Some universities have already announced help, such as Harvard. In March, the president of Harvard University, Alan Mr. Garber and Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Hopi Hoekstra announced that the Harvard College would be without tuition for families with annual income of $ 100,000 or less, and without school fees for families of families with annual income of $ 200,000 or less. “This significant expansion of financial aid, from the 2025-26 academic year, will return Harvard more accessible than ever to more students, in particular intermediate income families,” said the official declaration of one of the main universities in the world.
“Put Harvard at hand for more people widens the range of history, experiences and prospects that all our students encounter, promoting their intellectual and personal growth,” said Garber. “By bringing together people of an exceptional promise to learn with each other, we really realize the enormous potential of the university.” Thanks to this, around 86% of American families would qualify for financial aid in Harvard for the next school year.
Several other colleges have chosen to give free tuition fees to certain students:
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has removed tuition fees for the undergraduate students of families earning less than $ 200,000 per year; The University of Pennsylvania said that it would also allow students of families winning $ 200,000 or less to receive free tuition fees. Previously, the school set its limit to $ 140,000; Stanford families winning $ 150,000 or less have to pay tuition fees; The nine schools of the University of Texas have given up tuition fees for families earning $ 100,000 or less; All the public schools of New Mexico provide residents with free tuition fees; Columbia University sets its household income threshold at $ 150,000 for free tuition fees; Students from Cornell and Yale of families earning $ 75,000 or less will receive free tuition fees; Princeton allows students of families who earn $ 160,000 or less free tuition fees; Residents of Arkansas will obtain free tuition fees at the University of Arkansas if their family income is less than $ 70,000; The promise of New York University guarantees that students whose families earn less than $ 100,000 do not have to pay for tuition fees.
While some schools choose to serve low -income students by combining grants, scholarships and work loans to help meet their financial needs, others have promised to prevent these students and their families from contracting.
