Financing Policies for International Students (PDF)

Each year Mount Holyoke admits a carefully selected, diverse group of academically strong and talented students.  The College is prepared to help these students and their families manage the cost of a Mount Holyoke education. 

While Mount Holyoke expects families to assume the primary financial responsibility for their daughter's education and to contribute to the maximum level of their ability, we have a long tradition of supporting international students with need-based financial aid. 

Important

To be considered for financial aid, an international applicant must apply for financial assistance at the same time as she applies for admission. The intent to apply for financial aid must be indicated on the admission application.

Students who indicate on the admission application that they will not apply for financial aid will not be considered for aid after they have been accepted to the College (and for their remaining enrollment).

Current Students

An international student's parent contribution is determined at the time of her acceptance to the College. Therefore, no re-application is necessary in subsequent years. However, all international students must submin their U.S. federal taxes to SFS each year to determine the expected student contribution.  In addition, if an international student has been approved for funding for a study abroad program, she must submit a consortium agreement by May 1, for a full year study abroad program, or December 1 for a spring semester study abroad program.
