Welcome, friend!
Thank you for your interest in Haverford College.

The spring semester is still on virtually, and all of us in admission and financial aid continue to be available by email and phone to answer any questions you may have. We invite you to explore our website, including our new virtual Admission resources, and look forward to working with you throughout your college search process.
