How Financial Aid Works

With our generous financial aid program, a commitment to economic diversity, and a breadth of tools and resources, our office helps make sure nothing stands in the way of your Harvard education.

01. How Do I Apply for Financial Aid

You can find our financial aid application instructions (which apply to all students, regardless of country of residence or citizenship status) at Registrar Office.

02. Financial Aid is For Foreign Students?

Yes, financial aid is available for foreign students on exactly the same basis as for American students. Although foreign students are not eligible for any federal funding, the College has its own job and scholarship money available to foreign students.
