USC to Offer Free Tuition
to Students From Families
Who Make Under $80,000 The University of Southern California announced it
will soon phase in free tuition for select students. USC President Carol L. Folt announced that
students from families that earn less than
$80,000 annually will be eligible for free tuition. Home ownership will not be used to
determine a student's financial need. The changes will reportedly be
implemented with first-year students in
the fall of 2020 and the spring of 2021. Once the policy is in full effect,
it is estimated that around 4,000 students
will be affected by the change in tuition costs. According to Folt's statement, the
move will increase USC's undergraduate
aid by more than $30 million annually.
