Tuition and Expenses
We understand that a private college education is a significant undertaking for any family, and our goal is to make sure it remains manageable for you. To that end, we offer need-based aid and financing plans for families at all income levels—in fact, approximately 70 percent of Harvard students receive some form of financial aid.
This fact sheet outlines the full cost of a Harvard education, before accounting for financial aid or other awards. If you are eligible for aid, you may also receive an additional standard allowance for travel and personal expenses.
