The cost breakdown below is for international students’ reference only and cannot be used to increase the amount of scholarship, fellowship, or loan funding for which an international student is eligible. The type of childcare that is appropriate for a family will vary, however this website for Harvard-affiliated day care centers provides a fair example of the average cost of childcare in Cambridge. In keeping with the general cost of living in the Cambridge/Boston area, the cost of childcare can be quite high. If you will need childcare, we encourage you to consider that expense when you plan your time at HKS. Additionally, if you receive HKS scholarship assistance that covers the Student Health Insurance Plan, waiving it will result in a dollar-for-dollar reduction of your award.

Only the cost of the Harvard Student Health Insurance Plan-or a plan that you, personally, are paying-can be included in your cost of attendance. Visit the Harvard University Health Services website for more information.
