Net Price CalculatorNet Price Calculator
The Net Price Calculator is designed to give prospective students an early indication of what their Haverford College financial aid might be if they were a college freshman attending school full-time in the 2018-2019 academic year.
The sticker price for a college education can be intimidating, but results from the net price calculator will show you a more realistic cost estimate based on your family's unique financial situation.
Note: Colleges have different resources and financial aid policies, so your "net price" will vary from institution to institution. Also, special circumstances are considered by financial aid offices on a case-by-case basis. If your situation is unusual, you should contact the financial aid office of any college in which you are interested.
How does it work?
You can sign in with your College Board user name and password or use the calculator as a guest. By signing in, the information you enter will be saved in your account, so you can use it to calculate your net price at other institutions. Completing the calculator should take no more than 20 minutes. You will need to answer some basic questions about your family's financial situation. The 2018-2019 academic year uses a family’s 2016 income, and you should have the federal tax forms for that year on hand before you begin.
This calculator is NOT an application for financial aid or admission. None of the information you enter is made available to or retained by Haverford College. The results are only as reliable as the information you provide. This calculator is meant to be an indication of the aid you might be eligible to receive based on the information you enter.
The Haverford College Financial Aid Office makes the final determination of your aid based on your complete financial aid application.
As you use this calculator, please remember:
- It is based on costs and policies for the 2018-2019 academic year, and uses 2016 calendar year income.
- It is for first year, prospective students planning to live on-campus who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents, and assumes that the student and the parents are U.S. residents.
- It is for students who are dependent on their parents (i.e. parents' financial data is always required even though the calculator may not ask for their information).
- The estimate of aid is most reliable when income consists of wages from W-2's, and not from self-employment, business, or investment income, and when there are no losses on the tax return.
- IMPORTANT! Single, never married, divorced, or separated parents must execute a separate calculation for each household to estimate the combined contribution which will be used.
- IMPORTANT! Students whose siblings attend undergraduate college programs with costs less than Haverford will have a higher family contribution on their actual financial aid awards than what is reported on the calculator, based on the ratio of costs at the other college(s) versus Haverford.
- Other grant aid you receive will reduce estimated Haverford College grant aid, which might be determined by this calculator.
