Financial Aid Profile
Overall Financial Aid Information 2009-2010
Over half of all undergraduates receive need-based Harvard Scholarship aid, totaling over $145 million.
One-fifth of families qualify for the Harvard Financial Aid Initiative, where parents with total incomes less than $60,000 are expected to pay nothing.
Parents with total incomes between $60,000 and $180,000, and typical assets, are now asked to pay an average of up to 10 percent of their income.
Foreign students have the same access to financial aid funding as U.S. citizens, including the Initiative outlined above.
Two-thirds of students work during the academic year.
