The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is set to implement a new financial aid policy starting in the fall of 2024, where tuition will be waived for students from families earning less than $140,000 annually. This initiative aims to make education more accessible by covering tuition costs, with additional financial support for living expenses, books, and supplies for families earning up to $180,000. This move is part of MIT's broader effort to reduce the financial burden on middle-class families, ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder access to education at one of the world's leading universities. The policy reflects MIT's commitment to diversity, inclusion, and educational equity, potentially influencing other institutions to adopt similar measures.
