Financial Aid for Minorities at Prestigious Universities |
||
| ♥ |
Harvard University |
|
| Nov 1 Jan 1 |
Financial Aid: Harvard's financial aid is entirely need-based and loan-free. Families earning less than $85,000 annually (as of 2023) pay nothing toward tuition, room, or board. For families earning up to $150,000, contributions are capped at 0-10% of income. About 55% of students receive need-based aid, with an average grant of $60,000. Minority-Specific Support: While most aid is need-based, Harvard offers programs like the Harvard Financial Aid Initiative (HFAI), which targets low-income and underrepresented students, including first-generation and minority groups. The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion also connects students to external scholarships for minorities (e.g., Horatio Alger Scholarship). |

MIT |
|
| Nov 1 Jan 6 |
Need-Blind Admissions: MIT does not consider a student's ability to pay during the admissions process, ensuring that financial need, including for minority students, does not impact admission decisions. Full Need Met: MIT commits to covering 100% of a student's demonstrated financial need through grants, scholarships, and work-study opportunities, with no expectation of loans in aid packages. Tuition-Free Thresholds: Starting in the 2025-2026 academic year, students from families with incomes under $200,000 (with typical assets) will attend MIT tuition-free, covering about 80% of U.S. households. Families with incomes below $100,000 will have no expected parental contribution, covering tuition, housing, dining, fees, and an allowance for books and personal expenses. MIT Scholarships: The primary form of aid is the MIT Scholarship, a need-based grant that does not require repayment. In 2023-2024, 58% of undergraduates received MIT Scholarships, with a median award of $66,663. Pell Grants: Approximately 19-20% of MIT undergraduates receive federal Pell Grants, typically for students with family incomes below $60,000. MIT uniquely allows Pell Grants to offset the student contribution (e.g., work-study or summer earnings), reducing out-of-pocket costs. |

Caltech |

Aid packages primarily consist of grants and scholarships, which do not require repayment, supplemented by work-study opportunities and minimal loans. Average Aid Packages: For the 2024-25 academic year, the average grant aid for first-year students was approximately $73,000, with 52% of first-years receiving need-based aid averaging $74,013. The average need-based self-help aid (loans and work-study) was $3,504. No-Loan Packages: Students from families with incomes below $100,000 (with typical assets) can expect no-loan packages covering tuition, fees, housing, and food. For families earning less than $200,000, aid typically covers tuition. |
