Abstract

The article discusses how some universities, such as Harvard, MIT, and the University of Pennsylvania, are offering free tuition for families with incomes below a certain threshold. While tuition may be covered, other expenses like housing, food, books, and transportation still need to be budgeted for. It is recommended to create a comprehensive budget that accounts for all college attendance costs beyond just tuition. Additionally, students are advised to explore work-study opportunities, scholarships, and federal aid options to help cover non-tuition expenses. [Extracted from the article]
