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 2020-2021 academic year uses a family’s 2018 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 keep in mind:

• It is based on costs and policies for the 2020-2021 academic year, and uses 2018 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).

Further Caveats

• 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.
• Standard institutional need-analysis does not consider income losses, including business losses, which may result in the calculator reflecting less out-of-pocket expenses than could actually be the case.
• Single, never married, divorced, or separated parents must execute a separate calculation for each household to estimate the combined contribution which will be used.
• 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. See Haverford’s policy regarding outside grants under “Aid From Other Sources.”
