Harvard's financial aid program is need-blind for all applicants, including international students, ensuring that admission decisions are made without regard to financial circumstances.
Students receiving outside scholarships must report them to the Financial Aid Office; these awards may reduce the student term-time work expectation or loan component, but not the Harvard Scholarship amount.
Emergency funding is available for unforeseen expenses, such as medical or dental emergencies, through the Beneficiary Aid Program.
