This is not true, at least for schools like Stanford.
They offer free tuition if your family income is under 125K, free room and board if under 65K. They also claim 77% of students graduate with no debt[0]
But what part of that 77% represent the students receiving free tuition based on the 125k family income? I would think that 77% is also lumping students who a) have a free ride from scholarships, academic and/or sports. b) have the financial means to pay their way through.
