Affordability

We believe that the cost of attending Tufts should not be a barrier to students and their families. That is why Tufts proudly meets 100% of demonstrated financial need for all admitted students, regardless of citizenship status. And with the Tufts Tuition Pact, U.S. undergraduates will attend Tufts tuition-free if their annual family income is under $150,000, with typical assets.
