Financial Aid
Did you know that 91% of Hampshire College students receive financial aid? We are committed to making Hampshire affordable for your family. The average need-based grant last year was $35,941.
It is the responsibility of the financial aid office to review all application materials to determine eligibility for financial assistance; prepare appropriate award packages; provide counseling regarding student and parent loans; oversee student employment; and coordinate financial aid with student accounts. Please visit the student accounts office website for information related to student billing.
