Need-Based Aid
Need-based financial aid awards are determined using an institutional methodology employed by many private colleges and universities.
Financial Need is the Cost of Attendance minus the Expected Family Contribution (EFC). To estimate your family's contribution and your actual cost, use the Net Price Calculator.
Merit Aid
Hampshire offers several merit-based and matching scholarships. Renewable annual merit scholarships up to $10,000. All merit-based scholarships are awarded by the admissions committee, with no separate application required. Learn more >>
Please feel free to contact the financial aid office if you need additional information or have any questions.
