Rice University is the latest university to provide free tuition to middle class families. Following in the footsteps of many Ivy League schools, Rice has its financial aid offerings. Rice University is promising full scholarships to undergraduates whose families have incomes under $130,000. “Talent deserves opportunity,” Rice President David Leebron said while announcing the plan on September 18, 2018. The full scholarships are earmarked for students whose families have incomes between $65,000 and $130,000. Below that level, the university will not only cover tuition but also provide grants to cover students’ room and board, along with any other fees.
