MERIT-BASED ADMISSIONS, NEED-BASED AID
Every student admitted to HBS demonstrates a unique ability to become a leader who will make a difference in the world. While admissions are based on merit, financial aid is awarded based on demonstrated need.
SHARED INVESTMENT IN YOUR FUTURE
Business school is a valuable investment in your future. HBS supports that investment through generous HBS need-based scholarships. These are gifts that do not need to be paid back. Approximately 50% of the class receives an award, and the average scholarship is $42,000 per year, or $84,000 total.
Each financial aid package is different. Packages may include a combination of your scholarship award, savings, and a student loan. We will help you meet your full financial need through a combination of these resources:
ALUMNI-DRIVEN FUNDING
HBS Scholarships are funded by alumni. We try to pair alumni and scholarship recipients who share similar backgrounds or aspirations to create meaningful connections between past HBS classes and those that follow. To learn more, we invite you to hear the stories that make HBS Scholarships so special.
HOW NEED IS DETERMINED
HBS Scholarships are based on your income from the last three years, along with your assets. Students with higher earnings contribute at a higher rate than students with lower earnings. If you are married and/or have children, we also consider a portion of your spouse’s income and assets, as well as your higher cost of living.
Employer sponsorship and loans are considered outside scholarships for financial aid purposes. Students who receive employer loans or sponsorships are generally not eligible for HBS Scholarships.
The financial aid team will work with you to understand your circumstances and explore different avenues of funding—including HBS Scholarships, external scholarships, and loans, to ensure that everyone admitted to HBS can afford to attend.This opportunity has expired.
