Haverford College net price by family income

Historical average cost after all grants and scholarships — not need-based aid eligibility. 2024–25 academic year.

At what family income does financial aid stop at Haverford College?

There's no universal cutoff. Need-based aid depends on income, assets, family size and college rules; merit scholarships are based on grades and scores, so high income doesn't rule them out.
