In Houston, a university is taking steps to make college more affordable. Families with incomes up to a certain threshold may be eligible for free tuition. This change is part of an expanded financial aid program.
The program's expansion aims to support middle-income families. It also continues to provide comprehensive support to lower-income households. Further details about this initiative are available from the university, including eligibility criteria and implementation timelines.
