Brandeis University in Waltham said on Tuesday that starting next fall it would waive tuition for students with families making less than $75,000 a year. Families earning less than $200,000 a year will get grants and scholarships to cover half of tuition, which is over $67,000 a year.

MIT plans to waive tuition for students with annual family income below $200K. Brandeis will do the same for families earning less than $75K.
