Yale

Need-blind admission for all applicants regardless of citizenship or immigration status. Starting the 2026–27 academic year, Yale eliminates all expected costs — tuition, room, board and fees — for families with typical assets and annual income under $100,000, and covers tuition in full for families under $200,000.

This is an expansion from Yale's previous $75,000 full-coverage threshold. There are no merit scholarships — every award is need-based, calculated from the CSS Profile and family financial documents. Need-blind covers the admission decision only; a financial aid application is still required to receive the aid itself.

Sticker price is roughly $90,000+/year total cost of attendance before aid.
