Financial Aid

COVID-19 Update (5/18/22): The Financial Aid office will remain open throughout Summer 2022. Although our physical office is closed right now, our virtual office is available by email, phone, and Virtual Office Hours. We are open Monday - Friday, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. ET.

2022-2023 Academic Year Update (6/23/22): We plan to email completed financial aid decisions to returning undergraduate students by Friday, 7/1/22.

We administer financial aid and student loans for all undergraduate Tufts students, and federal aid for all Graduate and Postbac Arts, Sciences & Engineering and SMFA students, and Fletcher School students.

We meet 100% of need, as determined by our analysis of family financial resources, for all admitted undergraduates who complete an aid application by their respective deadline. Financial aid for undergraduate Arts & Sciences and Engineering students is awarded entirely based on need.

We process graduate student loans and work study; graduate scholarships are determined by individual departments.

Prospective and current students can click on the appropriate menu button to access information specific to undergraduate or graduate students.

Email Consent

Please be aware that the University’s primary method of communicating with students is through email. We will do our best to limit the number of emails that you receive from us, but in many cases, including information about registration, campus emergencies, special events, and Commencement, email may be the only communication used. It is your responsibility to check your Tufts email account regularly. If you use another email account, please make certain that you forward your Tufts email to the account you regularly use.

If you do not give your consent to receive financial aid information via email, please email studentservices@tufts.edu.
