The University of Texas will expand its free tuition program for lower-income families to include all families making $100,000 or less a year, beginning in the fall of 2025. The plan will cover tuition and fees for undergraduates. The school system, with nine universities and five health institutions, is the largest university system in the state and one of the largest public systems in the US, with over 256,000 students. The expansion comes after the Board of Regents established a $167 million endowment at UT Austin in 2019 to cover tuition and fees for in-state undergraduate students for families with an annual gross income of up to $65,000 and reduce tuition costs for families earning to $125,000. In 2022, a second endowment extended that program to all UT academic institutions.
