Harvard Wants You

[Dhimbil]

Spread the news to anyone you think will benefit from this.

 

"Harvard University is now guaranteeing that students from low-income families

(earning less than $40,000 annually) won't have to pay for their children's

education. Also, households earning less than $60,000 per year will get a

reduction in tuition. This was announced in Feb. 2004. The Harvard president,

Lawrence H. Summers, says the school wants to "recruit talented students from

disadvantaged backgrounds." He also says, "Our doors have long been open to

talented students regardless of financial need, but many students simply do not

know or believe this. We are determined to change both the perception and the

reality.'' About 1,000 of Harvard's 6,600 undergraduates are expected to benefit

from these new initiatives."

This is old news and has been around for a while. But its still good to make sure students don't worry on money when it comes to applying for Harvard. Just study hard and work on your EC's.

^That was the point, to remind students who may not have heard it when this was first announced and also as kids are getting ready to apply college here.

Its good news although it's been around for some time. Princeton and Yale ( which am going too for a year as a exchange student) offers the same incentives as Harvard for low-income students. But as a Swedish national I'am fortunate enough to have a government whose subjects tution is free as most of the European Union members do but its the only one who pays for their students tution fees abroad plus a hevfty sum of money as a grant which is currently 600 pounds sterling like 1150 dollars per month.

hell that is good news, but how smart or "brilliant do u have be".

i think more so than those w/ money. u have to show that u will be able to pay back the money tha they'll be spending on u.

I would definitely go to Harvard for grad school, however, I’m not American, and would think the deal only applies to Americans.

 

I’m hoping for Columbia University in the near future.
