We were afraid that beacuse of financial aid, kid may not ne given admission. But Harvard aid was best. Harvard gives grant money. Remember that still Harvard (any other ivy) still expect a studen to contribute $5250 for work study and summer job. In our daugther case, she earned more than $30,000 in outside scholasrhips awards besides near Harvard full ride other than small efc and student contribution. Thus Harvard allowed her to buy a computer $2700 (I do not remember exact figure). So start applying for outside scholarships. Student has to pay taxes on any scholarships that pays besides for tution and other mandatory fee .But in the end this freemoney is worth it as student can focus on extra curricular activities rather than work study.

In addition, summer job are easily available with Harvard name where one can easily make 10-12 dollar per hour working in their specaility fields that one wants to pursue.
