Do schools that offer free tuition (NYU/now Einsteins) base their tuition costs of student's parents income?

It's nice that certain high education institutions are offering free tuition, but it seems flawed if the hyper rich or those who can afford are going to school for free. This is especially true for medical schools where there is a high proportion of students whose parents are physicians and they seek to follow in their parents footsteps. I can understand the difficulty of screening based on parents income because it doesn't guarantee the parents are paying. On the other hand, blindly giving the already ultra rich free tuition seems absurd, especially at elite institutions where those who have unlimited resources probably have greater chances of entrance due to merit acquisition. is NYU or Einstein only offering free tuition to the socioeconomically disenfranchised or everyone?
