Harvard publishes one billed price for undergraduates, and it applies to international students too. For 2024-25, tuition, fees, room, and board totaled $82,866. Tuition alone was $56,550.
International undergraduates get the same need-based financial aid as American students. Harvard does not give merit scholarships. Aid is based on what your family can afford, and families with low incomes often pay nothing or very little.
For graduate students, costs and aid depend on the school. A master’s at Harvard Business School or Harvard Law School costs far more than many other programs, while some research programs offer fellowships. There is no single price or single aid policy for graduate study.
To estimate your own cost, use Harvard’s net price calculator for undergraduates. For graduate programs, check the tuition page of the exact school you plan to apply to.
The sticker price is high, but it is not what most families pay. Apply for aid if you need it, and compare the net cost, not just the published price.
