Socioeconomic Inclusion

The socioeconomic backgrounds of our students reflect a dimension of diversity that adds depth and value to our classroom and student experiences.

This includes diverse financial, social, and environmental contexts that have shaped who they are and how they think. These perspectives are invaluable to our community and provide a critical lens that equips our students to live out the School’s mission – as leaders who make a difference in the world.

Harvard Business School (HBS) partners closely with student leaders to ensure that the HBS community is one where all members are equipped with the resources and supports to explore their interests and accomplish their goals.

Need-Based Financial Aid

Our students benefit from the diverse perspectives of their classmates. One of the key ways in which we foster this community is by offering generous need-based financial aid packages for domestic and international students. Our need-based financial aid process incorporates a holistic look at student’s financial circumstances. Members of our Financial Aid team are available to assist students in navigating the financial aid process to help them meet the cost of the MBA.

Tuition Assistance

We believe that your financial circumstances should never prevent you from applying to or attending Harvard Business School. We need leaders from all socioeconomic backgrounds at HBS to build a community that will make a difference in the world. HBS offers a need-based application fee waiver during al application rounds.
