I know Harvard is a private uni and doesn't have different rates for in-state and out-of-state students, but can anyone give me an idea of how much their tuition is? Also, do they offer decent financial aid packages? Super stressed, ugh.
No need to be stressed! You're right, Harvard being a private university means that it doesn't differentiate tuition rates for in-state and out-of-state students, which is $56,550.
However, Harvard is well-known for offering generous financial aid packages. They utilize a need-blind admissions policy, meaning that your ability to pay does not affect your acceptance decision. Furthermore, they meet 100% of demonstrated financial need for all admitted students.
To better understand what financial aid package you might receive, you can use Harvard's Net Price Calculator on their website. This tool will provide an estimate based on your family's financial situation. Keep in mind that the estimate is not a guarantee but can give you a clearer picture of what to expect.
Lastly, don't forget to explore external scholarship opportunities and other resources to help fund your education. Good luck with your application!
