Since you mention Harvard - Harvard and the other seven Ivies have need-based financial aid only (no athletic or merit based scholarships). Being a recruited athlete is a significant factor in admissions at these schools though, and especially at the Ivies with the largest endowments (Harvard, Yale, Princeton), for many families regular financial aid results in a net cost comparable to an athletic scholarship.

Obviously Stanford does have athletic scholarships.

As takeitallin says, there’s nothing to lose from contacting coaches and everything to gain.
