Yes, Haverford does have financial aid available for a limited number of international students (who are not US citizens or permanent residents) in each entering class. If you apply for financial aid and are admitted, the College will meet 100% of your demonstrated financial need.

Please see our International Financial Aid site for additional information about financial aid for international students.

Regardless of citizenship or country of residence, all students should complete the Common Application and Haverford's required writing supplement. These forms can be completed online at www.commonapp.org. If you plan to apply for financial aid, please visit our International Financial Aid page to find out which forms you need to complete. (The forms will vary depending on your citizenship and where your family resides.)

Students who plan to complete a year or more of university study before enrolling at Haverford must apply for transfer admission. Financial aid is not available for transfer students who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents.

Haverford seeks students who demonstrate ability and interest in achieving at the highest levels of scholarship and service; who will engage deeply and substantively with the community; and who are intent on growing deeply both intellectually and personally. We do not use any formulas in our admissions process. You can view some statistics about recently admitted students on our website by exploring Why Haverford? At a Glance or the Class of 2020 Profile.

Applicants to Haverford (both first-year and transfer) are required to submit the results of either the SAT or the ACT. We do not require the optional writing section for either test or the SAT subject tests.  Please plan to take a required test at least one month prior to the application deadlines. You may register online at:

• SAT Critical Reasoning Test -  Haverford Code #2289, http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/sat/reg.html
• ACT - Haverford Code #3590, http://www.actstudent.org/regist/index.html

* Students who live in mainland China and who cannot travel to Hong Kong to take the tests may apply without SAT scores. In that case, submitting GRE (Graduate Record Exam) scores is helpful, but not required. Haverford does not have minimum required scores for these tests.

Students whose first language is not English and who have never attended a school where English is the primary language of instruction must also take the TOEFL or IELTS. Haverford requires a minimum score of 100 on the internet-based TOEFL or 7 on the IELTS.

Students are asked to submit scores before the deadline. Students applying for Early Decision I must take tests no later than November; Early Decision II and Regular Decision no later than December.

Yes, but if this is a financial burden for your family, please contact our office at admission@haverford.edu.
