Financial aid is available to students who need it. Haverford offers a strong financial aid program — decisions are made according to a need-based allocation formula developed by the College.

In other words, Haverford does not offer any financial aid on the basis of academic, musical, athletic, or any other evaluation of merit. For many years, Haverford has provided aid to all admitted students who were judged eligible according to the College's formula and procedures. We do, however, have limitations on the amount of funds we can commit to non-U.S. citizens and we are not able to offer aid to all of these students who deserve it.

Haverford has always sought to enroll the most qualified students regardless of their financial circumstances. To that end, the Admission staff admits students without regard to their financial need. An application for financial aid will have no bearing on your admission decision. If you think you cannot afford Haverford College, please take time to read what follows and to raise questions with our Financial Aid or Admission staff. We are eager to help you.

It is very important that you and your family understand all the procedures and policies of the financial aid program at Haverford. All of this information, including downloadable forms, is provided on this site. Haverford does not have a separate, institutional application for first time students.
