I've been dreaming of attending Harvard since I was little, but I'm not sure about the annual tuition cost. Can anyone share the current tuition rate for Harvard University?
The annual tuition cost for Harvard University for the 2024-2025 academic year is $56,550. Please note that this figure only includes tuition and doesn't account for other expenses such as room and board, personal expenses, and other fees. The total cost of attendance, which includes tuition, room, board, and other fees, is approximately $82,866.
However, Harvard is known for its generous financial aid program. Families with an annual income of less than $65,000 aren't expected to contribute towards the cost of attendance, and those with an income of $65,000 to $150,000 are asked to contribute a percentage of their income. The financial aid is need-based, and about 55% of Harvard students receive financial aid. So, don't let the sticker price deter you from applying if Harvard is your dream school. It's essential to submit financial aid applications, such as the FAFSA and CSS Profile, to determine your eligibility for aid.
