The United States has a developed economy, abundant resources in colleges and universities, and good job opportunities and salaries, which attract many students to apply. But,High cost of studying abroadIt is a problem that cannot be ignored. The tuition fee in the United States alone may be more than 10-200,000 yuan a year, which is a heavy burden for some students.
But,U.S. universities are now tuition-free!
ExactlyWhich universities are tuition-free, and can international students apply?Let's take a look with the study abroad supervision network!
1. New York University (2024 U.S. ranking: 35).
Tuition Fee Waiver Policy Standards:First-year full-time students earning less than $100,000 per year.
In October 2023, New York University's first female president, Linda Mills, announced that starting with the fall 2024 semester,Tuition will be waived for first-year full-time students from families with an annual income of less than $100,000.
General assets refer to:Assets that correspond to the level of household income may include cash, savings, investments, home equity, business equity, other real estate, and any other assets. For those whose household assets are significantly higher than their income level, they are not eligible for full tuition waiver.
This policy applies to international students. As long as you are enrolled in the New York campus, are a first-year undergraduate student, have an annual household income of less than $100,000, and hold general assets. For students in other grades, the tuition policy will also be adjusted accordingly.

Christopher L., president of Princeton UniversityEisgruber said the program is designed to ensure that students have full access to academic, research and internship opportunities.
It is very nice that Princeton made it clear on its official websiteCitizenship is not considered when calculating financial need, and all admissions are need blindIn other words, international students can also apply!
3. Harvard University
Tuition Fee Waiver Policy Standards:The annual household income is less than 8$50,000

Annual income is less than 8Families of $50,000 will also receive a $2,000 stipend for "move-in costs and other expenses incurred during the transition to college."
The official website of Harvard University indicates thatStudents are treated equally, regardless of their nationality.
In addition to the above 3 universities, Brown University, Dartmouth College, University of Chicago, and Vanderbilt University also offer tuition waivers. But unfortunately, if international students apply, the school will takeNeed Aware Admission Policy, that is, your financial situation and academic situation will be taken into account.
If you have particularly good grades, the school may take extra care of you and cover the full cost of your tuition. But if you're not so impressed, the school is likely to admit other students who don't need financial aid.
Although most prestigious universities do not include international students in their tuition-free policies, some universities have stated that international students can also enjoy the tuition-free policy if their status changes during their studies (for example, if they apply for a green card).
