Johns Hopkins University

National College Match Scholarship Package

These numbers are based on estimated costs for the 2023-2024 school year. Amounts will change slightly from year to year, but as the cost of college increases, the scholarship packages will correspondingly increase.

Policy on Outside Funding
Outside funding will reduce or replace a student's Federal Work-Study of $2,700. Outside funding in excess of $2,700 will reduce the amount of the Hopkins QuestBridge Scholarship on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

Policy on Health Insurance
Hopkins requires all students to have personal health insurance. Students not covered by a family insurance plan will receive additional Hopkins QuestBridge Scholarship funds to cover their enrollment in the Johns Hopkins University Student Insurance plan.

Policy on Travel Allowance
Transportation costs reflect two round trips to Baltimore and are set each year based on the student’s state of residence.

Policy on Student Contribution
All QuestBridge Scholars will have a $0 student contribution.

Policy on Direct Matriculation Programs
Students’ cost of attendance will be fully covered for their first four years of undergraduate study. Any subsequent years of study are considered graduate-level work and are not eligible to be covered by the Hopkins QuestBridge Scholarship.

Hopkins' Financial Aid Overview

For the National College Match, Hopkins will most strongly consider students with total family incomes of $80,000 or less, and family assets typical for that income level. Students who do not fit this financial profile can still be considered for regular decision at Hopkins, and if admitted, can expect to receive a competitive financial aid offer that meets 100% of demonstrated need through need-based scholarships and work-study opportunities.

100% Need Met
Hopkins is making a world-class education financially possible for students from all backgrounds. If your family demonstrates you can only pay part of college costs, or none at all, Hopkins covers the rest.

No Loan
Hopkins covers your costs through need-based scholarships that don’t need to be paid back, and work-study opportunities—making it possible to take full advantage of all their community has to offer.

Need-Blind
Your financial circumstances won’t factor into your admissions decision if you’re applying as a domestic applicant (U.S. citizen, permanent resident, eligible non-citizen, or have DACA or undocumented status). For international applicants, Hopkins is need-aware.
