The FAFSA determines your eligibility for federal and state financial aid, including the Pell Grant, Federal Work-Study funds, and subsidized federal student loans. While the new methodology may change your eligibility for federal financial aid, it does not determine your eligibility for aid from Harvard. At Harvard, we will continue to use our own methodology to determine your eligibility for our need-based financial aid (read more about this in our How Aid Works section). We first determine a family contribution, based on your family’s financial circumstances, and then meet your full financial need using Harvard’s funds as well as any federal or state funds for which you are eligible.
