Financial Aid Staff Is Kind & Dedicated

Hampshire college has a tiny, TINY endowment. Our new president is working very hard to increase it, but the fact of the matter is that the endowment for Smith College's botanical garden is larger than the endowment for our entire college. With this in mind, know that Hampshire pours almost ALL of its money into giving students financial aid. Although we have limited resources, Hampshire is dedicated to making sure it brings in kids of diverse socioeconomic backgrounds and supports them. It is a very expensive school if you don't have aid, but for many students, Hampshire makes it cheaper to attend here than at a state school. They try really, really hard.

Thank You Hampshire College

The opinion of most need-based aid receivers like myself, is that Hampshire financial aid is fantastic. Most students complaining about it, don't actually need it. It costs me the same to go to Hampshire as it would to go to a State University back home. Work study jobs are easy to come by. When I graduate I will be less than $20,000 in debt, after four years at a $53,000 school. Thank you Hampshire College.

It Depends

I like that many scholarships are available for academic success. That definitely helps the large bill that goes along with a Hampshire degree.
