About 80 percent of American households have incomes under $200,000, according to the university's Tuesday announcement. For families who earn less than $100,000, Yale will now cover the full cost of attendance. Yale began covering the full cost of attendance for families making under $65,000 annually in 2010 through the university's "zero parent share" scholarship; the university raised the income threshold to $75,000 in 2020. Currently, over 1,000 students receive a zero parent share award.

Coppin State University in Baltimore announced in 2023 that it would begin offering in-state tuition to any student who lived in one of the 41 U.S. states and territories without an HBCU-as well as the District of Columbia, which has two HBCUs-through a program called Expand Eagle Nation. In 2024, the first year of the program, the institution more than doubled the number of students from qualifying states to 195-up from 81 the previous fall.

UC regents are considering tuition increases amidst financial uncertainty, with the possibility of reducing financial aid funding from those revenues.
