Johns Hopkins University announced Thursday that it\u2019s eliminating tuition, fees and living expenses for its Homewood campus undergraduates whose families make less than $100,000 a year; students whose families earn up to $200,000 will pay no tuition. It joins a wave of other institutions\u2014especially private, selective ones\u2014that have announced tuition guarantees.<\/p>\n
In a news release, the university said the change \u201cmeans students from a majority of American families, including middle-class families earning above the national median household income of $87,730, can attend Hopkins at no expense.\u201d <\/p>\n
Further, Hopkins said, \u201cMost families with incomes up to $250,000 will continue to qualify for significant financial aid. Even those with annual incomes exceeding $250,000 may qualify, especially when there are multiple children in college at the same time.\u201d <\/p>\n
Most of the university\u2019s undergrads study on the Homewood campus, in North Baltimore. The release said the new aid levels \u201cwill go into effect for eligible current students in the spring 2026 semester and for new, incoming students next fall.\u201d <\/p>\n
In a message to the university community, JHU president Ron Daniels said that since businessman and former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg donated $1.8 billion to the university in 2018, Hopkins\u2019s share of Pell Grant\u2013eligible students rose from 15.4\u00a0percent to 24.1\u00a0percent, the highest proportion in university history. <\/p>\n
\u201cOur financial aid investment has continued to grow, inspired by Mayor Bloomberg\u2019s transformative gift, with generous contributions by more than 1,200 donors who have given $240 million for financial aid at Hopkins over the last several years,\u201d Daniels wrote. \u201cWe are in their collective debt.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
