WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (WGHP) – Wake Forest University announced that some admitted North Carolina undergraduates can attend tuition-free starting in the 2026 fall semester.
The initiative, called the North Carolina Gateway to Wake Forest University, would be for students whose families have annual incomes less than $200,000 per year.
The university said that under the initiative:
- Tuition and standard living expenses will be covered for students admitted from North Carolina whose annual family income is $100,000 or less.
- Tuition will be covered for students admitted from North Carolina whose annual family income is between $100,000 and $200,000. However, those students would have to pay standard living expenses and applicable fees.
- Fifty percent of tuition will be covered for students admitted from North Carolina whose annual family income is between $200,000 and $300,000.
“The North Carolina Gateway to Wake Forest University demonstrates our deep commitment to students from our home state,” President Susan R. Wente said. “It says clearly to students and families who may not have considered Wake Forest because of cost: ‘Wake Forest is within your reach.’”…
