Emory University Announces Free Tuition for Domestic Undergraduates From Families Earning Up to $200,000 Starting Fall 2026

The expansion will be financed by the university’s endowment plus donor gifts.

Overview

  • All new and returning domestic undergraduates who meet the income threshold and qualify for need-based aid will be considered.
  • Tuition coverage begins in fall 2026, and Emory will continue to meet 100% of demonstrated need for domestic undergraduates.
  • Eligibility will be determined through FAFSA and the CSS Profile, with typical family assets factored into the assessment.
  • More implementation details will be released later this year, according to university officials.
  • The move builds on Emory Advantage and the 2022 no-loan policy that aided about 3,100 students this year, and it follows a 5.8% tuition increase to $67,080 with an $88,536 estimated total cost of attendance.
