What is the cost of tuition for international students at Harvard University? Do they provide financial aid packages for international students, or is the education free for all of them?
Hi Vaishnavi, the tuition fee for international students at Harvard University is approximately ₹45-50 lakh per year. When you add the cost of living, room, and board, the total annual cost can go up to ₹65-70 lakh. However, Harvard is well-known for its need-based financial aid, and they offer substantial support to students from various financial backgrounds.
While the education isn’t free for all international students, Harvard has a need-blind admission policy, meaning your financial situation doesn’t affect your admission chances. Many students from India receive significant financial aid packages, sometimes covering nearly the entire cost, depending on the student’s financial need. This makes a Harvard education accessible to students from all financial backgrounds.
