Scholarships & Financial Aid
Harvard focuses on need-based financial aid rather than large merit scholarships. Eligible international undergraduates can receive aid that covers tuition and living costs based on demonstrated need.
- Harvard Financial Aid Initiative (HFAI) - need-based undergraduate support
- Need-based aid for international undergraduates (no citizenship requirement for eligibility assessment)
- Harvard Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences funding
- Harvard Business School fellowships and need-based awards
- Research / teaching assistantships for eligible graduate students
- External and government scholarships (e.g. Fulbright and home-country awards)
- Doctoral and professional school fellowships
For many undergraduate families below published income thresholds, Harvard may meet 100% of demonstrated financial need. Graduate funding is school-specific - check each programme early.
