To receive full funding, it is enough to provide documents confirming that the annual income of parents is less than 65, USD per year. Scholarship size for master's and doctoral programs, in turn, is also calculated based on student income over the past three years.

In the past, students were expected to contribute from both term-time and summer earnings; however, we have recently expanded our financial aid program by eliminating the summer work expectation for all students beginning in the academic year. Students are still expected to contribute a standard amount through term-time work to meet their estimated personal expenses. If you have savings or other assets, you will also be expected to contribute a small portion toward college expenses.
This determination will be included with your financial aid award. Most students work to meet their student contribution, and jobs on campus are plentiful and varied. Visit our Guide to Student Employment for more information. Some students use outside awards or loans to replace their expected contribution. If you can't save up enough for your student contribution, the Harvard Loan program may be able to help. We know that every family is different.
