The Harvard University offers financial aid to all the undergraduate courses including B.A. in Art, Film, and Visual Studies. International students are eligible for exactly the same aid as American students. The financial aid is based on factors like family's income, assets, size, and unusual expenses. 

The university works on several principles such as: 

  • The financial aid is offered by the university based on students' needs, not on merits.  

  • A student's financial need and aid application will never affect the chance of being admitted to Harvard.

The tuition fee at HGSE varies greatly & depends on the course & specialisation students opt to pursue.

The Harvard tuition fee ranges between 27.2 L-55 L for a 10-month academic year. Students may also incur some other costs linked with living in Cambridge such as rent, food, utilities, insurance, travel & other personal/miscellaneous expenses that must be taken into account when planning for studies.

But what the university provides a fee waiver for some category of students which include low income families, military families, and those who have taken part in special programs like the QuestBridge.

Importantly, Harvard has an annual tuition fee close to INR 53.5 lakhs, which are the educational expenses given by students.
