How to find scholarships at Harvard University for international students?

I'm an international student aiming for Harvard, and I'm curious about scholarship opportunities. Does anyone know what types of scholarships are available for international students at Harvard and how to qualify? Any tips on applying would be awesome!

Harvard University has a need-based financial aid program for all students, including international ones. This means financial aid is provided based on the student's and their family's ability to pay, rather than academic, athletic achievement, or other factors. If your family earns less than $85,000 per year, you will typically be expected to contribute nothing towards tuition, room, board, and fees. Families earning from $85,000 to $150,000 will generally pay between 0-10% of their total income.

All students—domestic and international—who wish to apply for financial aid at Harvard are required to complete the CSS Profile, which helps the university determine your financial need. The deadline to submit this form usually aligns with the university’s application deadline, so it's best to start early.

Harvard University doesn't typically have 'merit-based scholarships'. Instead, as mentioned, they have a substantial need-based financial aid program. However, there are other private scholarships and grants available globally or in your country of residence that you may apply to. These can be found by researching on platforms like Appily, or exploring opportunities from educational and governmental institutions in your home country.

Please ensure that you understand the eligibility criteria and requirements for each scholarship before you apply. These might include certain academic thresholds, extracurricular achievements, essays, or interviews. Good luck with your application process!
