Harvard Funding?
Hi all,
Sorry, haven't visited this msg board in over a year; it's good to be back and see everyone as lively as ever during admissions seasons .So I've been blessed to receive a lot of fantastic news over the past week. I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, but I was wondering if anyone else who got into Harvard received any info on funding in their offer email. I read and re-read the letter, but there was no explicit indication--or denial--of financial aid. I completed Harvard's financial aid/statement of financial resources application way back in January, when I submitted by regular application for grad school. Susan Athey couldn't reach me by phone because I'm currently working in India, so I didn't get the chance to ask her about it. Did any fellow admits who did speak with her get any scoop on funding? All else equal, I'd LOVE to go to the big H, but I'll definitely need some money to make it there (I was rejected from the one external fellowship I applied for, and I'm not eligible for the NSF). Please let me know if you have any insight; thanks! In the meantime, congrats to people hearing great news, and high hopes for all the others still waiting!

I was told that financial information would all be included in the official letter sent by Harvard (which was sent out Thursday morning, apparently).

First off, congrats on the Harvard admit! Second, if you log into the admitted student webpage with your XID account it says that financial packages get mailed March 5th. Finally, Susan Athey mentioned in an email to me that all students receive a 2 year fellowship and a one year dissertation completion fellowship. I would guess that the years that you don't have a fellowship you will probably get a TA or RA position. I would not worry about money.

She did say ALL students. Don't know whether it will be identical.
