Financial Aid

We meet 100% of demonstrated need

Haverford will meet the full demonstrated need of all admitted students who are determined to be eligible according to the College's formula and procedures.

We are committed to minimizing student debt

Students with family income below $60,000 per year will not have a loan expectation included in their financial aid package; loan expectations for incomes above this threshold remain low, ranging from $1,500 to $3,000 each year.

The Haverford Student Loan Debt Relief Fund helps students who graduate from Haverford with debt that was part of a loan expectation in their financial aid package, by providing funds to young alumni who are in transition after graduation or who have jobs of high social value with low remuneration. This $2 million endowed fund is one of only a handful of such programs in the nation.

We provide support beyond Financial Aid

Sometimes expenses occur in the regular flow of a student’s life that fall outside the regulated parameters of financial aid. Haverford’s LIFTFAR program aims to help fill these gaps for costs such as travel, internships, emergency medical expenses, and more. Funding is allocated on a case-by-case basis, and financial need is a consideration.
