We meet 100% of demonstrated need

Haverford will meet the full demonstrated need of all admitted students who are determined to be eligible according to the College's formula and procedures.

We are committed to minimizing student debt

If a family’s income is below $60,000 per year, Haverford will not include a loan expectation as a resource before determining eligibility for Haverford Grant funds. Loan expectations for incomes above this threshold remain below Federal Direct Loan maximum eligibility, ranging from $1,500 to $3,000 each year.

The Haverford Student Loan Debt Relief Fund is an innovative program to help students who were packaged for financial aid with a loan expectation who subsequently borrowed a loan to attend Haverford. The program provides funds to young alumni who are employed in jobs of high social value with low remuneration, or who are in transition at some point following graduation.

We provide support beyond Financial Aid

Sometimes expenses occur in the regular flow of a student’s life that fall outside the regulated parameters of financial aid. Haverford’s LIFTFAR program aims to help fill these gaps for costs such as travel, internships, emergency medical expenses, and more. Funding is allocated on a case-by-case basis, and financial need is a consideration.

We're here to help
