Some have lamented that the coronavirus crisis has rendered the Ivy League a glorified version of the University of Phoenix, with sky high tuition to boot.
An Ivy League education costs somewhere between $50,000 and $60,000 per year — and that's just the tuition. Room, board, and other student fees then push that baseline up by thousands. The average tuition and fees at public colleges are typically much lower.
All eight prestigious Ivy League colleges, however, provide comprehensive financial aid packages. For the most part, students from families making less than $65,000 per year can attend an Ivy League school for free.
The full price of tuition remains unchanged at most colleges amid the coronavirus pandemic, though, even as the majority of schools plan to rely heavily on remote learning this fall. Princeton opted to institute a 10% tuition cut, while other schools reiterated that the quality of instruction would remain the same amid remote learning, so tuition would remain the same, too.
Below, Business Insider rounded up the financial aid offerings at each Ivy League school. Full tuition prices, along with fall reopening plans, are also included. The schools are listed in alphabetical order.
