Returning Student Application Instructions (2008-2009)

Current Harvard students who applied for financial aid in the prior year will automatically be e-mailed renewal aid application instructions in February for the following academic year. The applications are due on April 17. Students whose aid applications are complete by the deadline will receive their award letters in late June. In early May, students with incomplete aid applications will be sent an email to notify them of which materials are missing from their application. Subsequent incomplete letters will be emailed in June and July. Once the aid application is complete, the financial aid decision will be mailed out on a rolling basis during the summer. Aid applications must be completed before September 1, 2008 to be eligible for financial aid for 2008-09.
