UT System Offers Free Tuition for Families Earning Under $100K

The University of Texas System will expand its free tuition program to cover families earning $100,000 or less annually, starting in fall 2025. This initiative, part of the Promise Plus program, aims to reduce student debt and increase access to higher education across its nine universities and five health institutions. The expansion follows a successful endowment program at UT Austin and reflects a broader trend in American higher education, with institutions like MIT also eliminating tuition for lower-income families.
