Going to an Ivy League institution like Harvard University can pay off in the long run.
Before they get there, though, Harvard students have a steep price to pay.
However, many students pay far less than the sticker price.
Over half — 55% — of Harvard undergraduates receive institutional scholarships, according to the school, and 24% of Harvard families pay nothing after aid and grants.
Students who receive federal financial aid pay an average of $19,500 a year to attend Harvard, according to the College Scorecard.
