<p>NEED-BASED FINANCIAL AID: </p>
<p>The Harvard Financial Aid Office works with each family to ensure access to the Harvard education students have worked so hard to secure. Applying for financial aid does not jeopardize a student’s chance for admission. Indeed, the Admissions Committee may respond favorably to evidence that a candidate has overcome significant obstacles, financial or otherwise. All of Harvard’s financial aid is awarded on the basis of demonstrated financial need - there are no academic, athletic or merit-based awards. </p>
<p>**Harvard meets the full need of every student, including international students, for all four years. **</p>
