An international student is defined as one who is not a citizen or permanent resident alien of the United States. Hampshire College offers a limited amount of financial aid (grant) assistance to international students who demonstrate financial need. While the competition for international grants is strong, it is also the case that Hampshire is committed to maintaining and expanding its global campus community.

STEPS TO APPLYING FOR FINANCIAL AID

  This application is required if your biological parents are separated, divorced, or never married. If applicable, both PROFILEs are required to complete your financial aid application.

The noncustodial parent should complete the form online as soon as possible, using estimates if necessary.

4. Make Sure You Haven't Missed Anything.

Hampshire College offers a limited amount of financial aid (grant) assistance to international students who demonstrate financial need. These grants can cover up to the cost of tuition. Students who receive grant assistance are responsible for any remaining cost of tuition, as well as the cost of room, board, and other expenses. 

This grant is renewable for a maximum of eight semesters, provided the student is enrolled and is making satisfactory academic progress. The amount of grant aid cannot be increased in renewal years. Financial assistance is not available to international students who did not receive aid upon admittance.

Students may check the status of their financial aid application and forms needed to complete it by accessing The Hub at thehub.hampshire.edu. Please allow two weeks for processing.
