Does Harvard give a full ride to international students?

Harvard College does not hand every international student a merit “full ride,” but it meets demonstrated financial need for undergraduates under published policy — including international applicants in recent need-blind, full-need practice. If your calculated need is high, the package can look like a full ride relative to cost of attendance. Confirm the live policy on Harvard’s financial aid site.
