Financial Aid

Harvard University has long been a leader in its commitment to student financial assistance both on campus and in Washington, D.C. Harvard College was one of the first colleges in the nation to adopt broadly the tenets of the G.I. Bill and provide institutional need-based grant aid to qualified students. These practices served as a model for the creation of the federal system of student financial aid. Harvard remains active on this front today. 

In Washington, Harvard works to increase funding for federal student aid programs, including the Pell Grant program, Work Study, and SEOG. We also pursue strong federal student loan policies that provide Harvard’s undergraduate and graduate students with improved access to critical, but affordable, federal student loans.
