First of all, be aware that this program is not new. Until now the cutoff was $150,000, not $200,000. See https://web.archive.org/web/20240229232535/https://college.h...
To the question "How does Harvard afford raising the threshold by $50,000?", I think the plan is to use endowment investment returns to cover the cost.
