<p>I've heard about something like an extremely reduced tuition in the above mentioned schools for families under a rather high line of income. I also read on a Chinese article that 24 other schools followed suite..The article did not state which 24 schools they are, and I'm curious, does anybody have any ideas of any other schools that offer a similar amount of aid? thanks!</p>
<p>I don't know about the others but at Stanford you pay nothing if you make under 60k and you pay no tuition if you make under 100k (you may still be responsible for books, room, and board). Even for people making near 150k the cost, according to Stanford, is still similar to that of a state school. You can check it out at:

<p>Of course, it is dreadfully difficult to get into any of the schools you mentioned.</p>
<p>There have been sweeping financial aid programs instituted at many colleges in order to attract middle class students. At Harvard and Yale, if your family income is under $60,000, tuition is paid for by the college with no loans included. A few of my friends and I recieved packages that payed for everything and you are given money for personal expenss which sound great at first but when you factor in that books will be half of your personal expenses... it gets kinda ={.</p>
<p>that's cool...What about MIT?</p>
<p>At Stanford, the family isn't expected to contribute toward tuition/room/board if they make under $60K. There is still a student contribution (approx $2K summer earnings and $2K work study).</p>
<p>MIT has very generous FA programs for students from families making well over $100K. No tuition or self-help for income under $75K.</p>
<p>At Yale and Harvard, if your family makes 60K or less, your tuition + room and board is paid for. At Yale in particular, if you make between 60 and 100K, you pay very little; if your family makes between 100 and 200K, then you will pay an average of 10% of your total income to go to Yale (Harvard does the same thing, except the range is between 120 and 180K).</p>
<p>Add Brown to the list.</p>

<p>Regarding Post #10,
True; for 100% pell eligible students however MIT doubles the Pell grant
which seems to cover the difference.</p>
<p>Post #5 (Fresnomom) this is my understanding as well.</p>
