Financial Aid - HLS Household Income 55 - 60k
Hi,
Does anybody have good estimates for the type/amount of financial aid I would receive at HLS with a household income around 55k?
Thanks in advance.

That's hilarious. My family's household income is 25K, and CCN gave me only $20K a year, and then lowballed me for 3L. Really should have studied harder for the LSAT.t-14orbust wrote:I’m robably around 35k a year or whatever will get you to 50k loans per year

You'd likely get the highest amount of financial aid - so whatever tuition minus base loan package is.jkander31 wrote:Hi,

Jumping off of this, is student income and parent income weighted equally?taxman14 wrote:You'd likely get the highest amount of financial aid - so whatever tuition minus base loan package is.jkander31 wrote:Hi,

I'm not sure what the cost would be exactly for your situation, however, after reading HLS website and if I understand correctly, they predict that the overall students budget for cost of attendance is $95k, so the most they would ever give any student would be $45k grant and a $50k base loan loan, so if someone is in the perfect situation where they can live at a relatives for free while attending and eat for free and already have health insurance, the lowest they would have to pay would be around $23k a year through a loan (after $45k grant) just to cover tuition, however, if you aren't able to live in Boston for free, you'll have to add rent on-top of that $23k loan. All Harvard does is give a grant to whatever the need is that they calculate after the $50k base loan. If they calculate your need to be under the $50k base loan, you get no grant and just get whatever the need is in the form of a loan.

This is not true, as it is possible to increase the student budget due to things like medical expenses or having children. With a child, for example, you could increase the student budget such that full tuition or very nearly full tuition grant is possible.whatlikeitshard2020 wrote:so the most they would ever give any student would be $45k grant /
