Don't be sorry to crash, Heather. That's important to note. When you say "...the dollar amounts vary", is that say not all of them are free?

I am going to begin compiling a list soon. Thanks for the info.

The dollar amount in terms of family income to qualify for free tuition varies between the schools. At Stanford, families under $45k are free and under $60,000 are reduced (an article I read said they would pay $4,000 a year).

At the university I work at, we too, have a "free tuition" program for families making under $25,000 a year. I view it more as a marketing plan than anything, because these students would have gotten "free tuition" anyway because of qualifying for Pell Grants. At the ivies that have this program it is different because they are providing some benefit due to their tuition would be well over what a Pell Grant would cover.
