we’re making a world-class education financially possible for students from all backgrounds.
Financial circumstances shouldn’t limit your potential. We’re here to make it possible for talented students to join our community and explore all it has to offer.
We work with you and your family to understand your unique circumstances to determine what you can pay toward college costs. Then, we cover the rest through need-based scholarships that don’t need to be paid back, and work-study opportunities. Because of this, most of our students pay far less than the cost of attendance, and some pay nothing at all.

Our Philosophy
Need-Blind
Your financial circumstances won’t factor into your admissions decision if you’re applying as a domestic applicant (U.S. citizen, permanent resident, eligible noncitizen, or have DACA or undocumented status). For international applicants, we’re need-aware.
100% Need Met
If your family demonstrates you can only pay part of college costs, or none at all, Hopkins covers the rest.
No Loan
We cover your costs through need-based scholarships that don’t need to be paid back, and work-study opportunities—making it possible to take full advantage of all our community has to offer.
What motivated me to finally apply was a combination of the comprehensive financial aid offered, a world-class education with endless research opportunities, and a student life that distinguishes itself by being so supportive of new students.
