Couldn't other Universities follow suit? Harvard sits on a $50B endowment fund, though maybe these funds are contractually obligated toward different causes.

Couldn't other Universities follow suit? Harvard sits on a $50B endowment fund, though maybe these funds are contractually obligated toward different causes.
- psychlops 3y agoHow then would Harvard sort students by socioeconomic status?
- Atotalnoob 3y agoThey use FAFSA like every university
- legitster 3y agoHarvard is already free if your family income is less than $85,000. https://college.harvard.edu/admissions/why-harvard/affordability https://college.harvard.edu/admissions/why-harvard/affordabi... In fact Harvard charges more in tuition just because your family is rich!
- proee 3y agoWhat if the parent are rich but won't fund their children's education? I guess they are SOL?
- bombcar 3y agoThere is a way to be declared an "emancipated minor" or equivalent, but it can be a pain in the ass (because otherwise all parents would decide not to fund so the kids can go free).
- legitster 3y agoThat actually doesn't work. Too many tried to game the system by getting emancipated. If your parents refuse to pay or fill out the FAFSA, the only way to get off their income: - They die - You turn 24 - You get married
