Estimate Your College Costs
Graduate from Hopkins debt-free
Over 80% of our students graduate debt-free because we don’t expect you to take out student loans when you attend Hopkins. Instead, your financial aid offer is designed to cover your costs with Hopkins Scholarship—money you don’t have to pay back.
COST OF ATTENDANCE
The total cost of attendance is what you would pay to attend Hopkins if you weren’t receiving any financial aid. For the 2025-26 academic year, that total is estimated at $92,000. It includes:
- Billed costs you pay directly to Hopkins: tuition, fees, housing, and meal plans
- Estimated costs for things you’ll purchase yourself: books, school supplies, travel costs, and day-to-day personal expenses

How we determine your costs
While annual income is an important factor in determining your financial aid offer, it’s not the only factor we consider. We look at your family’s overall financial picture, including income, savings, and other assets, when reviewing your financial aid application.
Our income-based aid tiers apply to families with typical assets, generally less than three times their annual income. Most families fall within this range.
We never expect you to use retirement savings to pay for college and do not consider those funds when determining financial aid.
If your family’s assets are significantly higher than typical for your income level, it may impact your financial aid offer.
