In a new policy known as the Beacon Initiative, Bryn Mawr College has announced that it will be eliminating tuition costs for all U.S families earning up to $175,000 annually. The initiative was announced to the Bryn Mawr Community on October 9 in the Lantern newsletter.

The Beacon is part of the College’s commitment to increase access to higher education and liberal arts colleges. The initiative, which is set to begin in fall 2026, will apply to U.S applicants only, excluding international students. Transfer and McBride students are also eligible for the initiative. The initiative also covers tuition increases, meaning that should the College’s tuition increase, eligible students will still be tuition free.
