Harvard University announced a "significant expansion of financial aid" on Monday to make tuition free for more students, even as the Ivy League institution said recently it is facing revenue concerns under the Trump administration.

Harvard will now be completely free for students from families with incomes under $100,000, the university said on Monday, as part of a significant financial aid expansion. Why it matters: Harvard is under a hiring freeze and scrutiny from the federal government that could lead to funding cuts.

The Ivy League school joins other prestigious colleges, including UPenn, in raising income limits for free tuition and other supports.
