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 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. Harvard’s financial aid staff work personally and individually with students and families to match each family’s specific situation.
Hi- my name is Georgie Orr I am the Graduation Specialist from Melba Idaho. I work with students to help with their grades and in the future. One of my students who wants to go into the medical field would love to go to your school. She is in the migrant program and her family is low-income. could you send me more information about your financial aid. She actually has been invited to your school this summer for a certificate for a nomination for an award. she really wants to come but not sure on how to pay for it.
She should sit down with her parents and carefully use the college’s Net Price Calculator. That is the only way to find out what a particular college will cost for a particular student. You can find the Net Price Calculator on the college’s financial aid website or google the college name and Net Price Calculator. Also use the calculators for the state publics (for example, Boise State?) and compare prices.
