I’m assuming you used a site like Kayak.com to check fares from DCA + IAD to BOS? If not, do that first!

Some other ideas:
Consider flying out of BWI (Baltimore) and/or into PVD (Providence).
AirTran flies BWI-BOS and is cheap. Southwest flies BWI-PVD (I think), and may even fly BWI-BOS (they just started flying into BOS).

Getting from PVD to Harvard isn’t super easy… Probably the easiest way is to take a Peter Pan bus from the PVD airport to South Station (the Boston train station, you can take the subway from there to Harvard). All in, it probably costs $20 and takes a bit more than an hour.

If you’re really hurting for cash, I think you can take a chinatown bus from DC -> NYC, and then another chinatown bus from NYC -> BOS. I wouldn’t recommend this though.
