Hi..

For Undergraduate Students (Harvard College)

Application Steps:

Submit the Admission Application: You must apply for admission first.
Complete Financial Aid Forms: The primary forms needed are the CSS Profile and/or the Harvard Financial Statement for Students from Foreign Countries (for international students).
Submit Supporting Documents: Provide parental income tax documents (or an employer's statement if no tax return is filed), student's income documentation, and any business/farm supplements if applicable.
FAFSA (U.S. Citizens/Permanent Residents): U.S. citizens and eligible non-citizens must also complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to be considered for federal aid.

Application Steps:

Submit Admission Application: You must apply for admission to your specific program first, as this is required before you can access the financial aid application for that school.
