Cost Overview
Most Harvard families pay far less than the $80,450 sticker price. Students from families earning under $75,000 pay virtually nothing, with net prices under $3,000 annually. Those from middle-class families earning $75,000-$110,000 pay around $14,000 per year. Only families earning above $110,000 approach the full cost at $53,571 annually. Over four years, total costs range from $12,000 for low-income students to $214,000 for wealthy families.
Harvard's legendary endowment makes this possible through massive financial aid averaging $61,801 per recipient. Graduates typically carry just $14,000 in debt, leading to monthly payments of $148. With median earnings of $101,817 ten years out, loan payments represent less than 2% of income. The best deal goes to brilliant students from working-class families who attend for free while accessing the most strong alumni network in America.
