Cost
The same school, two different prices
Family income under $30k: $428/yr · Family income over $110k: $37,774/yr (AY 2023–24)
Average paid by students receiving federal aid, by family income (College Scorecard). International students are not eligible for U.S. federal aid, so they are not in this cohort and typically pay closer to the sticker price.
High-income families typically pay closer to sticker.
Aid for international students
Johns Hopkins University awarded institutional aid to 183 international undergraduates, averaging $43,101 (2025-2026 Common Data Set).
These figures describe only the international students who actually received aid — not what a typical international admit can expect. International students outside this group pay the full sticker price.

How to read these numbers
- The 2025 rate covers Johns Hopkins University's whole applicant pool — early and regular applications counted together in one figure. It is not the rate of any single round.
- 1520–1570 is the middle half of admitted scores, not a cutoff: a quarter of admitted students scored below 1520, and a quarter scored above 1570.
- The table above holds 13 reported years, 2013 through 2025. Across them Johns Hopkins University's rate ranged from 6.1% to 18.1%, so any single year is one point inside that range.
Each figure above describes a class a school already admitted in a completed cycle. It is a record of who was admitted, not a measurement of any one application.
