Financial Aid
Hampshire is evolving. For questions about the current state of academics, student life, financial aid, or support, please see our answers to Frequently Asked Questions.
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.
