Affording Mount Holyoke
The value of a high-quality liberal arts education is significant and lasting — studies show it is one of the most worthwhile investments a student can make. A Mount Holyoke College degree offers both personal and professional rewards that last a lifetime.
We recognize the cost of attendance can seem daunting and the financial aid process can be confusing. Don’t worry: The College’s student financial services staff are committed to working closely with students and families throughout the process.
A Plan for Every Student
Mount Holyoke College has always supported an economically diverse student body, making an extraordinary education available to students from all income levels.
We are committed to educating students of promise, and because every family’s financial situation is different, we offer both merit-based and need-based aid to qualified applicants.
As you navigate the financial aid process, remember: Our financial aid packages meet the full documented need, as determined by institutional policy, of every admitted student who applies for aid by the published deadlines. And student financial services staff are standing by to help.
More Affordable Than You Think
We've developed these tools to help first-time students and their families estimate a potential financial aid package. Please note: These tools are currently applicable only to U.S. citizens and permanent residents. Additional details about financial aid are available for international students.
