Good point (and same to @ambler0). I have little first-hand experience here so I may be way off base, but on average are families paying far less than the retail price of 60K/yr? I mean, if your family had a 100K income, would you still get a break? How much loss is Harvard absorbing?
- smeyer 12y agoTry the net price calculator here: https://college.harvard.edu/financial-aid/net-price-calculator https://college.harvard.edu/financial-aid/net-price-calculat... . I was Harvard class of 2013, and I received some financial aid from Harvard even when my family had an income well above 100k (my father is a professor and my mom works for the federal government; both have PhDs). Edit: I think it's more around the 180k-200k range where the aid falls off rapidly, especially if you don't have extenuating circumstances like a sibling also in college.
- gertef 12y agoIt's insane how massive the financial aid discrepency is between a family with kids aged 18+20 (expected contribution = 50% each) vs a family with kids aged 18+22 (expected contribution = 100% each)
- ef4 12y agoA family with $100k in income can expect to pay around $12,000 per year at Harvard, the difference being covered by need-based grants and scholarships. Very few people pay full price.
