Harvard has a $60 Billion endowment, and could afford to offer free tuition to all its students - forever - and not run out of money.

Aye, Denver born and raised, sup?
Rossovich
I dunno if the price tag is the thing necessarily keeping me out, but this is quite a budgetary measure regardless.
floatationman
True, but a Target shirt is unlikely to help you build a network of successful people that could lead to really high salaries later in life

I was born and raised in Colorado, does that count?

Yes, Denver! This reminds me of the Colorado Native bumper stickers you can buy here... Are they really natives? Doubtful...

"I'd like to be hired at your private firm, you'll notice this Harvard shirt." I also notice you didn't graduate from Harvard, leave.

My mum went to Harvard and Western, two polar opposite schools. One is a party school, the other, one of the most prestigious in the US.
xmaneds
was this 50 years ago before it became "CASE WESTERN" ????
MFuzzySmock
Only 25 I think :/
xmaneds
my understanding of this page: "https://case.edu/about/history.html" was that it was 1967, 50 years ago. also wikipedia agrees, "1967."

That one’s in Ohio we’re talking about very different westerns

it'll save you more than that.. I'm willing to bet Harvard doesn't give those away even if you pay them 400,000 dollars
JackCanty
It costs $400,000...

i got a free "class of 2018" shirt my freshman year here
IamfunatpartiesIknow
They don't? Maybe for 400,015.95?
sombrerohorsewagon
Nobody pays full tuition at Harvard.
nero4ty2
if it's like most college book stores the t shirts start at $25
DiabeticDolphin
I pay 50x less and I got a t-shirt from my college.
thisisrubbish
I got a shirt. It said our football team was undefeated since 1897... we didn’t have a football team.
donkeymoney
I got several free over the years. About 1/10th as much for just tuition.
Ladet
But you and up with an education that allows you to say "50 × less" instead of 1/50th...

I got one too. Only that they could only give it to me size xl or larger smh

JustHereToStealMemes
Yup. Fucking Georgia
SomeDetroitGuy
Harvard actually has one of the most affordable tuitions. If your family makes under $65k a year, it's completely free. Room, board, tuition
kunigit
Yeah, it helps having a ~$37 billion endowment. https://www.harvard.edu/about-harvard/harvard-glance/endowment
MrDeadsr
Ya but they screw you on the grade requirement
SomeDetroitGuy
I'm not sure what you mean by that - lots more people apply to the school than they can take in and grades are a legitimate differentiator.
WrongReference
This is true for most of the top 25 schools. The private ones, anyway
PooPculture
Thats correct. Harvard isn't making big bucks off tuition, they make money through research and huge alumni donations
SomeDetroitGuy
Well, they make most of their money through investments of their ridiculously large endowment.
SiriLikeAlot
Sounds too good to be true, almost like... every modern country with an actual functioning education system.. the price of freedom..
SomeDetroitGuy
I'm not sure what you mean by "an actual functioning education system". Lots of other countries have fees for education. None have higher
SomeDetroitGuy
numbers of colleges, easier access to college, or as many of the top tier universities as the US.
Theauthenticdonaldtrump
Step one. Get accepted to Harvard.
Shargan8
For anyone really interested in doing this, do know: it is hard, but far from impossible.
khazaria
Step one, pay for prep school.
Keydoge
Is that 65k like family contribution to tuition or like overall income?
wheresthebaby
Latter
SomeDetroitGuy
Overall income. If your family income is under $65k / year, you pay NOTHING to attend Harvard. If it's between $65k/year and $150k/year then
SomeDetroitGuy
you pay no more than 10% of your family's annual income.
KRicci
Seriously. The Ivies take care of you.
Vaanhalen
Not U Penn. That bitch will work overtime to bleed you dry
KRicci
That sucks. I apologize for generalizing
khazaria
I loved when Penn would charge me late fees for not paying for the courses I dropped weeks earlier....
DudePlayinADudeDisguisedAsAnotherDude
Now. And if you're poor.
KRicci
My mom makes 50k/year and Cornell charges me only $2,000/year. Tuition is $60k, so I'm grateful lol
DudePlayinADudeDisguisedAsAnotherDude
Yeah. I grew up poor but these kinds of discounts didn't kick in until after my time.
KRicci
Ah I see. I hope you found your way regardless, education shouldn't be so impossible
SomeDetroitGuy
If your idea of poor is "making less than $150,000 a year" then the word has no meaning.
SomeDetroitGuy
and fees. If your family make sbetween $65k and $150k, it's a percentage of your family's income, not exceeding 10%. It's only children of
kichul77
So if my family makes $149K I only have to pay 10%, but if my family makes $151K, they have to pay the whole thing?
meskarune
That def wasn't true when I got in and couldn't go because of the cost. 2005, fam income 39,000/year
perterbedtomcat
Newer policy
DudePlayinADudeDisguisedAsAnotherDude
Same. UChicago, Yale, and Princeton have similar setups now. I missed them all.
Idkimadeanaccountjustforthis
I may be wrong but i think Brown is free if your parents are worth less then 250,000$
DudePlayinADudeDisguisedAsAnotherDude
You could be right. I don't know too much about schools I wasn't considering attending.
SomeDetroitGuy
the upper-middle and upper class who pay full tuition.
auserwithaname
Works well unless your family has a lot of dependants.
thegreatheed
https://college.harvard.edu/financial-aid/how-aid-works/harvard-financial-aid-initiative It's ABSOLUTELY called "Financial Aid".
grammarfairy
Which is fair. Wonder what % of students are in those brackets.
khazaria
Sooo much easier to get in if you paid for prep school, though.
SomeDetroitGuy
Before they introduced it, only about 25% of students came from families making less than $80k / year. This makes it accessible.
GenderEqualityIsAMyth
Makes sense. The harder you work for your income, the more you should get punished for it in other ways. Typical.
Dalaad
Yeah, let's make it totally impossible for smart kids from poor family to get into Harvard. Only smart kids from rich families. That's fair
FussyZeus
That's actually a really fair system. Damn, props to Harvard.
PleaseAMArelatedtomachining
They have 50BILLION dollar endowment. I'm glad they do it but it's certainly no hardship for them. They know poor people are smart too
Dasher12
MIT does the same thing, all you have to do is get in.
4troll
ez
yobego
They can do that when they can fund the entire university just off the invested interest from the endowment.
iUsedToBeFunThenIGotAGoodTherapist
Would you say that they're.... well endowed?
thegreatheed
That's not 'affordable tuition'. That's financial aid.
monsterhunter4lyfe
If the governments giving you money to pay tuition its financial aid. Not if they waive your tuition based on income.
thegreatheed
If the school waives tuition, the school counts it as financial aid. This situation still does not mean what 'affordable tuition' means.
thegreatheed
It says "financial aid" on their own site. https://college.harvard.edu/financial-aid/how-aid-works/harvard-financial-aid-initiative
orangearcadi
That's government financial aid. Private scholarships is also classified as financial aid
SomeDetroitGuy
You're being needlessly pedantic. The bottom line is that poor, working-class, and middle-class families can send their kids to Harvard free
thegreatheed
It is being pedantic. Needlessly is your opinion.
