Harvard College Financial Aid Overview

Harvard College's goal is to bring the most promising students to Harvard. They created and repeatedly expanded a financial aid program to help ensure that admitted students can afford their Harvard education. Harvard College's financial aid officers will work closely with your family to understand your financial situation, then create a comprehensive financial aid package that accounts for the full cost of attendance.

Starting in the 2025-26 academic year, Harvard College will be free for students whose family income is $100,000 and below. This covers all billed expenses including tuition, food, housing, health insurance, and travel costs. Additionally, each of these students will receive a $2,000 start-up grant in their first year for move-in expenses and a $2,000 launch grant during their junior year to help support the transition beyond Harvard.

Students with family incomes of $200,000 or less will receive free tuition and additional financial aid to cover billed expenses, depending on their financial circumstances. And many students with family incomes above $200,000 will also receive aid, depending on their circumstances.
