In December of 2007, President Drew Faust announced a sweeping overhaul of financial aid policies designed to make Harvard College more affordable for families across the income spectrum. Over the past decade we have increased our scholarship aid by 155%, and this year we are awarding a record-breaking $145 million in need-based scholarship assistance to almost 60% of our students.
Our new financial aid policy has dramatically reduced the amount families with incomes below $180,000 are expected to pay, and parents of families with incomes below $60,000 are not expected to contribute at all to college costs. We no longer consider home equity as a resource in our determination of a family contribution, and students are not expected to take out loans, which have been replaced by need-based Harvard scholarship. This new program has reduced the cost to middle income families by one-third to one-half, making the price of a Harvard education for students on financial aid comparable to the cost of in-state tuition and fees at the nation’s leading public universities. For a more detailed explanation of our program, please click here.
In case you know any interested Students
Syracuse University has 10 Full Rides for African American Men and Women Interested in Studying Architecture.
THIS HAS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED, PLEASE INQUIRE FOR YOURSELF
Mark Robbins, Dean of Syracuse University's School of Architecture is desperately seeking young men and women of color interested in pursuing a five year professional degree in Architecture. He says he's deeply committed to bringing diversity to his field and has scholarship money set aside to fully cover education costs for 10 students. He says that Hispanic enrollment in the school has increased substantially, but it's been challenging to attract Blacks.
Syracuse University School of Architecture has a great reputation and this could be a terrific opportunity for someone. Please circulate the information to everyone you know.
