The term-time work expectation is an unbilled cost listed on your award letter. It is the amount of earnings during the academic year that we expect you to contribute toward your college costs. All earnings are paid directly to you, and it will be your responsibility to determine what portion of your earnings will be used towards billed (tuition, fees, housing and food, etc.) and/or non-billed (transportation and personal expenses, etc.) expenses. Students can work while at Harvard, but only some students are eligible for the Federal Work-Study Program (FWSP). Your financial aid portal will designate whether you can work in a job funded by FWSP or need to focus your job search on positions not funded by the program. Students may use outside awards or loans to replace their expected contribution.
