Harvard University's tuition cost

Hi! I've been wondering how much it costs to attend Harvard University for one year. Can anyone give me an idea of the tuition and fees I should expect if I were to get in? Thanks in advance!

Hi there! For the 2024-2025 academic year, Harvard University's undergraduate tuition is $56,550. However, this only covers the tuition cost and not other expenses. If you also take into account fees, room, and board, the total cost of attendance comes to approximately $82,860 per year.

It's important to note that Harvard offers a generous financial aid program. Their need-based aid can significantly reduce or even eliminate the cost for families with financial need. In fact, families with an income below $65,000 are not expected to contribute towards tuition, fees, room, and board. Additionally, families with incomes between $65,000 and $150,000 typically pay only 0-10% of their income towards the cost of attendance. Harvard aims to meet 100% of demonstrated financial need for all students.

So, while the tuition and fees might initially seem high, financial aid can make attending Harvard a possibility for students from a wide range of income levels. You can use Harvard's Net Price Calculator to estimate your family's expected contribution and potential financial aid package if you are considering applying.

Good luck!
