UM efforts to aid lower-income students begin to bear fruit

UM isn’t alone is seeking to attract more moderate and low-income students through targeted tuition programs. This year, the University of Wisconsin-Madison announced Bucky’s Tuition Promise in February, guaranteeing free tuition for four years to in-state residents with family incomes below $56,000 and the University of Texas at Austin debuted the Texas Advance Commitment in April, offering free tuition to in-state students with family incomes below $30,000.
