决定你的资格

Harvey Mudd College is committed to meeting 100 percent of your demonstrated financial need through the use of institutional, 联邦和州拨款, 提供学生贷款和勤工俭学. We gather from the 免费申请联邦学生援助(FAFSA), 大学理事会的CSS配置文件, and supplemental documents 如 federal tax returns. Our goal is to analyze each family’s individual financial situation in order to determine the family’s ability to pay for a Harvey Mudd education. The FAFSA is used primarily for calculating a student’s eligibility for federal and 状态 student aid, while the CSS档案 is used for the awarding of institutional aid.

We use an equation commonly used by other colleges and universities to determine your financial need:

出勤费用(COA) – 家庭供款(FC) = 财务需要

出勤费用(COA)

出勤费用 refers to all the various costs associated with attending Harvey Mudd. 最后的统计包括学费, 费用, 食宿, 书, 供应, 个人开支和交通津贴.

家庭供款(FC)

The Family Contribution is calculated using information you provide on the 免费申请联邦学生援助(FAFSA), CSS档案 and other supplemental documents requested by the Office of Financial Aid. The FC is the sum of a calculated 父母的贡献 and a calculated 学生的贡献.

父母的贡献

The 父母的贡献 is the amount your parents are expected to pay toward college costs. 大多数哈维马德的学生都被认为是独立的, so it is rare for parental income or assets to be excluded from the FC equation. Harvey Mudd expects both parents to contribute to your educational expenses, 无论婚姻状况如何. 出于这个原因, part of your family’s contribution may be an amount assessed from the noncustodial parent.

学生的贡献

基于你的年级水平, Harvey Mudd requires a minimum expected contribution from summer earnings: first year, $1,500; second year, $1,750; third year, $1,900; and fourth year, $2,000. If you typically earn more than this minimum expectation, 你的收入贡献会更高. You are expected to contribute either 50 percent of after-tax income or the minimum expected contribution, 取较大的.

Any assets you have are figured into the FC equation, 包括现金, 储蓄及支票帐户, 信托基金, UGMA和UTMA账户, 货币市场基金, 共同基金, 存单, 股票, 股票期权, 债券, 其他证券, installment and land sale contracts (including mortgages held), 大宗商品, 合格的教育福利, 科弗戴尔储蓄账户, 529个大学储蓄计划, the refund value of 529 pre-paid tuition plans and real e状态 equity.

当联邦政府决定你的援助, they assume you can contribute 20 percent of your assets per year. By contrast, Harvey Mudd treats student assets, except 信托基金, as parent assets. Harvey Mudd assumes you can contribute 25 percent of trust fund assets each year.

财务需要

The difference between the 出勤费用 and the expected Family Contribution is the 财务需要. This is the amount that the student needs in order to be able to afford a Harvey Mudd education. 来填补这个空白, 哈维·穆德授予联邦, 国家和机构补助金, 各种联邦和机构贷款, 还有勤工俭学.

Since a family’s financial situation can vary from year to year, families must reapply for aid every academic year that the student is enrolled. 收入变化, assets and family members living in your household and/or attending college at least half-time (excluding parents) cause your family’s financial aid eligibility to shift. 也, 改变联邦或机构的方法, 你的经济援助申请的及时性, 你的年级水平和联邦, 状态 and Harvey Mudd College funds can affect your aid eligibility. Since we cannot guarantee a consistent level of funding from the federal and 状态 levels, 我们不能保证未来的资金. 然而, 在一般情况下, your total financial aid eligibility will remain as consistent as your family’s financial situation.

除了, students are expected to assume a greater share of their educational costs as they progress through college. Here’s the level of contribution students are expected to make year by year at Harvey Mudd:

	夏天的收益	学生贷款*	勤工助学
第一年	$1,500	$3,500	$3,900
第二年	$1,750	$4,500	$4,100
第三年	$1,900	$5,500	$4,300
第四年	$2,000	$5,500	$4,500

*These amounts represent total annual need-based loans. 由于个人贷款计划的限制, some students may have to borrow from more than one type of student loan program.

因毒品犯罪而丧失资格

A conviction for any drug-related offense involving the possession or sale of illegal drugs while receiving federal student aid under any federal or 状态 law will result in the loss of eligibility for any federal and/or 状态 grant, 勤工俭学或贷款援助.

If your eligibility has been suspended as a result of a drug-related offense, you may resume eligibility before the end of the ineligibility period. You may if you satisfactorily complete an acceptable drug rehabilitation program or you pass two unannounced drug tests administered by an acceptable drug rehabilitation program.
