Harvard Financial Aid Initiative

The Harvard College Financial Aid Initiative (HFAI) recruitment program serves as a touchstone for those looking to learn more about the application and financial aid process, both at Harvard and at large.

About

We are committed to ensuring all admitted students have the opportunity to attend Harvard, regardless of the economic obstacles they have encountered. We launched the Harvard Financial Aid Initiative (HFAI) in 2004 to enhance this effort and to raise awareness of college affordability for students interested in all kinds of colleges and universities.
