Financial Aid Information

Domestic Aid

All of our financial aid is awarded on the basis of financial need, as determined through the analysis of family resources on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), the CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE , and family tax returns. Financial aid packages are comprised of a combination of grants, loans and work study. Tufts meets 100% of the full demonstrated need of all admitted students.

The University does not offer merit aid, with the exception of National Merit Scholarship Corporation awards. ROTC program scholarships also are available.

The Class of 2013 received more than $15 million in total aid, of which $12 million was in the form of grants. More than a third of enrolling freshman received an institutional grant. Find helpful links here to apply for financial aid.

International Aid

The university awards financial aid only on the basis of demonstrated need. We do not offer any academic merit aid.

Since the university relies on several federally subsidized funds for which international students do not qualify, the university must draw only on limited institutional resources (primarily grants) when aiding international students. Each year we anticipate that a fairly small and highly qualified group of international students will be offered financial aid.  If you expect that you will need financial aid at Tufts, you must apply for it when you apply for admission. Do not wait until you receive a decision from Tufts to apply for aid; you will not receive it.

Financial aid is not available to international students who did not receive aid upon admittance. The family contribution that is determined upon acceptance will remain the same as long as the student is eligible to receive financial aid. While competition for international student financial aid is strong, it is also the case that the University is committed to maintaining and expanding its global campus community.

The following form is required for consideration of financial aid for international students:

               CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE

The PROFILE application, accessible at www.collegeboard.com/PROFILE, can be completed and submitted online. If you are accepted to Tufts and choose to enroll, you will be required to submit the International Student Certification of Finances to the International Center. All documents should be written in English or accompanied by certified translations from a local consulate, embassy, or school official. Please note the deadlines for submitting application materials, as late applications may not be considered.
