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. Students must notify the Office of Student Financial Support if they intend to use 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 $100,000 or less, and family assets typical for that income level. Students who do not fit this financial profile can still be considered for Early Decision II or Regular Decision at Hopkins, and if admitted, can expect to receive a competitive financial aid offer that makes a debt-free degree possible for all students.
How Hopkins makes a debt-free degree possible
- FREE TUITION for families making up to $200K
- $0 PARENT COST for families making up to $100K
- DEBT-FREE $0 student loan expectation for everyone
How Hopkins determine your costs
Hopkins considers your full financial picture to determine financial aid. The income-based aid tiers apply to families with typical assets, generally less than three times their annual income. Most families fall within this range.
Hopkins bases admission on you.
As a need-blind institution for U.S. citizens and eligible non-citizens, Hopkins base your admission on your match with Hopkins, not your ability to pay for tuition.
