Tech This Is A Good Start - MIT will make tuition free for families earning less than $200k/yr

[Phatguysrule]

CAMBRIDGE - MIT says that starting in the fall of 2025, students from families with incomes under $200,000 a year will not be charged tuition.

Families making under $100,000 will not have to pay housing, dining or other fees, and they'll have an allowance for books and other personal expenses.

Currently, the university in Cambridge, Massachusetts waives tuition for families earning less than $140,000 and fees are also covered for those making less than $75,000.


*Edit* Where did the "26.3k" come from? Can a mod please remove that from the title?

Sounds like I need to go back to college at MIT!

This is a good start.

I need to look into it more, but optimally they’d also blind approve applicants without looking at name, address, or gender information. Only their scores and other necessary qualifications. If they’re already doing this, fantastic.

Is 26,300 the required combined family age, required family size, or required family weight?

I could understand them all, if you allow genealogy. Like, your family has to go back to the Pilgrims.

I don't know what that is... I copied the headline and that text wasn't supposed to be in there. It must have picked up some formatting or something...

Well don't let the moderators delete it. That's the best part of the thread title. It made me click to find out what it meant, after I had spent half a minute trying to figure it out. Probably the most clever gimmick you have ever thought up.

CLICKBAIT!

I believe the $26.3k was a tracking cookie inserted by MIT. They are looking for an elderly basketball fan from the Northwest to enroll, as that particular demographic is not well represented at present.

Weve always been able to go there for free, just not take classes or get a degree. I hear the gift shops and campus are great!

I was on the MIT campus last month. Didn't go to any gift shops, but the buildings are nice.

Of course, it's no Clackamas Community College, but then what is?

It would be great if I didnt have to cut a check for 32k+ every year. Then do it again for my middle son. Then my youngest son. That'll be fun. Unfortunately they aint getting into MIT.

Tell them to do well in school and dedicate themselves to something schools offer scholarships for.

It can definitely be done. I'm not paying a dime for my eldest (aside from helping support her). Shooting for the same with our younger two as well.
