Financial Aid Application Instructions for Entering Students

In partnership with you and your family, we are committed to making a Harvard education affordable for all students. We consider carefully your family's financial circumstances and construct an aid package of jobs and scholarships to fill the gap between your resources and the annual cost of attending the College. Our policy is to meet each student's financial need in full, and our determination of your family's contribution is based on a variety of financial considerations, not just income levels.

For instructions on how to apply for scholarship assistance from Harvard, please select the link below that best describes your status.

US and Canadian Citizens/US Permanent Residents

Foreign Citizens

 

Financial aid is more widely available than most families expect. We determine need based on a variety of family circumstances, not income alone. Even families with annual incomes exceeding $180,000 may qualify for scholarship aid.
