来源:www.wdtwd.com 作者:沃得天下 时间:2025-04-04
哈佛大学校长艾伦·M·加伯在一份声明中表示:“让更多个体在经济上能够承受哈佛教育的费用,能够拓宽我们所有学生所接触到的背景、经历和观点的多样性,促进他们的智力和个人成长。通过将具有杰出潜力的人们聚集在一起相互学习,我们真正实现了大学的巨大潜力。”
加伯表示,根据新计划,约86%的美国家庭将有资格获得哈佛大学的助学金,并扩大了这所常春藤联盟大学致力于为所有本科生提供入学和毕业所需资源的承诺。
哈佛大学表示,来自年收入10万美元及以下家庭的本科生,不仅学费全免,还将获得住房、食物、健康服务和其他学生服务。
学校表示,来自年收入20万美元及以下家庭的学生将能够免学费就读哈佛大学。
据哈佛大学网站显示,一名本科生的平均年学费为56,550美元。但加上住房、食物、健康服务和其他学生服务,就读哈佛大学的年度总费用为82,866美元,学校称。
哈佛大学每年招收约24,600名本科生。2024年,位于马萨诸塞州剑桥市的哈佛大学录取了54,000名申请2028届入学的学生中的3.59%。
哈佛大学表示,约55%的哈佛本科生获得某种形式的助学金。学校官员称,在2023-2024学年,获得助学金的学生家庭平均支付了15,700美元的教育费用。
哈佛大学招生与助学金办公室主任威廉·R·菲茨西蒙斯在一份声明中表示:“我们知道,最有才华的学生来自不同的社会经济背景和经历,来自美国的各个州和世界各地。我们的助学金对于确保这些学生知道哈佛大学是一个他们可以成为充满活力学习社区一部分的地方至关重要,他们的存在和参与将加强这个社区。”
根据哈佛大学的说法,根据之前的助学金计划,来自年收入85,000美元及以下家庭的本科生有资格获得免学费、住房、健康服务和其他学生服务。
哈佛大学表示,符合哈佛大学免费就读条件的年收入门槛已从2004年的40,000美元提高到2006年的60,000美元,自2023年以来提高到85,000美元。
多年来,哈佛大学一直致力于降低本科生的年度学费。2007年,该校取消了贷款,以助学金的形式提供资助。它还取消了家庭住房资产在确定支付大学学费能力方面的考量。
自2004年启动哈佛大学助学金计划以来,哈佛大学已授予超过36亿美元的本科助学金,学校称。
哈佛大学助学金主管杰克·考夫曼表示:“我们的团队与每位学生紧密合作,确保他们充分融入哈佛大学的学习生活。助学金计划旨在让哈佛学生能够在学习、培训、研究、创作和充分参与哈佛大学学习生活的过程中,尽量少受限制。”

Harvard says tuition will be free for families making $200K or less
The changes go into effect for the 2025-2026 academic year.
March 17, 2025, 11:53 PM
Harvard University on Monday announced that tuition will be free for students from families with annual incomes of $200,000 or less starting in the 2025-26 academic year.
"Putting Harvard within financial reach for more individuals widens the array of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives that all of our students encounter, fostering their intellectual and personal growth," Harvard University President Alan M. Garber said in a statement. "By bringing people of outstanding promise together to learn with and from one another, we truly realize the tremendous potential of the University."
The new plan will enable about 86% of U.S. families to qualify for Harvard financial aid and expand the Ivy League college's commitment to providing all undergrads the resources they need to enroll and graduate, according to Garber.
Undergraduate students from families with annual incomes of $100,000 or less will not only have tuition covered but also housing, food, health services and other student services, the university said.
Students from a family making an annual income of $200,000 or less will be able to attend Harvard tuition-free, according to the school.
According to Harvard's website, the average annual tuition for an undergraduate student is $56,550. But with the addition of housing, food, health services and other student services, the annual cost of attending Harvard is $82,866, according to the university.
Harvard enrolls about about 24,600 undergraduate students a year. In 2024, the Cambridge, Massachusetts, school accepted 3.59% of the 54,000 applicants for the Class of 2028.
About 55% of Harvard undergraduates receive some type of financial aid, according to the university. In the 2023-2024 school year, families of students receiving financial aid paid an average of $15,700 toward education costs, school officials said.
"We know the most talented students come from different socioeconomic backgrounds and experiences, from every state and around the globe," William R. Fitzsimmons, Harvard College’s dean of admissions and financial aid, said in a statement. "Our financial aid is critical to ensuring that these students know Harvard College is a place where they can be part of a vibrant learning community strengthened by their presence and participation."
Under the previous financial aid plan, undergraduate students from families with incomes of $85,000 or less qualified for free tuition, housing, health services and other student services, according to the university.
The annual income threshold to qualify for free schooling at Harvard has increased from $40,000 in 2004 to $60,000 in 2006, to $85,000 since 2023, according to the university.
Over the years, Harvard has worked to lower the annual cost of tuition for undergrad students. In 2007, the school eliminated loans and provided assistance in the form of grants. It also eliminated home equity in determining a family’s ability to pay for college.
Harvard has awarded more than $3.6 billion in undergraduate financial aid since launching the Harvard Financial Aid Initiative in 2004, according to the university.
"Our team works closely with each student to ensure full inclusion in the Harvard experience," said Jake Kaufman, Harvard's director of financial aid. "The financial aid program is designed so that Harvard students can study, train, research, create, and fully engage in the Harvard experience with minimal constraints."
