Please note: Financial aid packages for 19-20 are unusual due to the COVID-19 public health crisis. Term-time work expectations were reduced and replaced with Harvard grant for all students who had a term-time work expectation, and many students also received extra emergency travel funding. Please also note that the student summer work expectation has been eliminated from financial aid packages starting in 2020-21.
