Support Throughout the Financial Aid Process
Our financial aid advisers are here to guide you through the process from beginning to end. We can answer questions, provide assistance with your application, and walk you through the types of financial aid available.
Estimating Your College Costs
You can expect your Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) to be roughly the same from year to year if:
- Your family’s financial circumstances stay the same
- The number of siblings in undergraduate programs stays the same
Whether you’re applying for the first time or renewing your current aid offer, you must apply each year.
International students offered aid at admission do not need to reapply.

Documents Explained
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is used to determine your eligibility for federal grants, loans, and work-study. It asks questions about you, your family, and your financial circumstances, so it’s helpful to have recent year tax returns on hand before you get started.
- FASFA is free for all students.
- Enter the code E00473 to send your information to Hopkins.
CSS Profile
The CSS Profile from College Board is an online application universities across the country use to offer institutional financial aid. Like the FAFSA, it asks questions about your family’s financial circumstances—so before you get started, gather any recent records that you have.
- Submitting the CSS Profile is free for U.S. students whose family income is below $100,000.
- Enter the code 5332 to send your information to Hopkins.
IDOC
The Institutional Documentation Service (IDOC) allows you and your family to send us financial documents, like tax returns and W-2 forms. If these aren’t available, you can submit other documentation of parent wages, like the parent non-tax filer form. We use these documents to determine your eligibility for institutional financial aid.
- There is no cost to use IDOC for students and families.
- You’ll be asked to upload these documents after you complete the CSS Profile.
Support for Unique Situations
We know that your circumstances might change during your time at Hopkins. Your adviser is available to answer your questions and walk you through the process related to your unique situation.
Undocumented and DACA Students
Undocumented and DACA students are eligible for merit scholarships and need-based aid. Because you may not have access to the same documents as other students, we have special instructions for applying for financial aid.
Learn How To ApplyVerification
Verification is a routine process for confirming the information on your FAFSA. If selected, you’ll be asked to submit additional documents to Student Financial Support.
Complete VerificationReconsideration of Your Aid
If your family’s circumstances change during the academic year, impacting your ability to attend Hopkins, you may appeal your financial aid offer. Submit your appeal form and documentation online, and we’ll respond as quickly as possible.
