The tuition match offer continues from enrollment to graduation. It anticipates that a student will graduate from Hampshire on the same timeline they would have graduated from New College of Florida.

The intent of this program is to keep New College of Florida students on their anticipated timeline to graduation had they remained enrolled at New College of Florida. The financial aid offer a student receives upon transfer will cover this same duration at the same value. The aid offer is counted towards the listed Hampshire College tuition. If Hampshire College tuition increases after 2023-24, a student’s out-of-pocket costs will increase by the same amount.

All students attending Hampshire College are enrolled full-time, and tuition covers full-time enrollment. The tuition match is based on a 36-credit (16 fall, 4 January ISP, 16 spring) full-time enrollment at New College of Florida. Students whose New College of Florida tuition is for less than full-time will have that figure adjusted to reflect that they will be enrolled full-time at Hampshire College.

This program will match the tuition New College of Florida students paid for their 2022-23 academic year. The total cost of attendance may vary depending on differences in expenses for transportation, housing and food, and other personal needs. Students must complete the 2023-24 FAFSA and provide Hampshire College with a copy of their 2022-23 New College of Florida tuition bill and financial aid offer. With this information, the Financial Aid Office will make an individualized offer to each applicant. We invite students to connect with our Financial Aid Office, as students' individual financial needs will vary.

Yes, this program will match the tuition and fees that New College of Florida students paid during the 2022-23 academic year. Students must complete the 2023-24 FAFSA and provide Hampshire College with a copy of their 2022-23 New College of Florida tuition bill and financial aid offer. With this information, the Financial Aid Office will make an individualized offer to each applicant. 

If a New College of Florida student has received academic scholarships or other merit-based scholarships from New College of Florida that reduce the student’s tuition, the tuition matched will be the tuition paid after those scholarships have been applied. If a student has an external scholarship that they have applied to their bill at New College of Florida, they will be expected to bring that scholarship with them to Hampshire.

The tuition match only applies to students who matriculated at New College of Florida prior to fall 2023. Students who have been admitted to New College for 2023-24 based on articulation agreements are not “previously enrolled” and therefore do not qualify. However, Hampshire College encourages students in this situation to apply to Hampshire College using the regular transfer application process and encourages them to contact the Admissions Office to discuss their situation, as we will work to accommodate them.

This offer is only for New College of Florida students who matriculated at New College of Florida prior to fall 2023. However, we will still welcome a standard transfer application from those starting at New College of Florida in the fall 2023 term, and each accepted student will receive a merit scholarship between $27,000-$35,000 per year. Students may also apply for need-based financial aid by submitting a FAFSA (no CSS profile required).

 Yes, all currently enrolled New College of Florida students in good standing are eligible regardless of how many credits they’ve earned.

At Hampshire, many students pay their tuition with Florida Prepaid 529 plans (and other 529 plans). It is important to contact the 529 program to let them know your student will be attending Hampshire. Florida Prepaid sends Hampshire a request for a tuition bill and then sends a check for the student. Hampshire does not know the conditions of your specific 529 plan, so you will need to reach out to your 529 plan directly for any questions.

Hampshire College accepts transfer credit from accredited community colleges and four-year institutions. If those credits were already part of your standing at New College of Florida, you will keep them at Hampshire. If you have additional credits that were not part of your transcript at New College of Florida (i.e., NCF did not accept them), Hampshire will evaluate those for transfer.
