Harvard is on my dream list, but I know nothing's cheap. Does anyone have info or a rough idea on what current tuition looks like there? Scholarships aside, I'm trying to calculate what I might need to cough up. Thanks, guys!
The tuition at Harvard for the 2024-2025 academic year is approximately $56,550. However, keep in mind that the total cost of attendance is often more than just the tuition. Other expenses associated with attending college, such as room and board, books and supplies, and personal expenses, should also be considered. For Harvard, the total cost per year, which includes tuition, room and board, and personal expenses, is approximately $82,866.
That being said, Harvard is need-blind and meets 100% of demonstrated need for all students, regardless of nationality or citizenship. What this means is that your ability to pay won’t affect your admission chances, and once admitted, your financial need will be fully met. Harvard's Financial Aid Initiative seeks to make attendance affordable for all undergraduates.
It's recommended that you use Harvard's Net Price Calculator to estimate your family's financial contribution. Remember, these are estimates and actual costs can vary slightly.
