<h2>
	Financial Aid at Harvard:</h2>

	Harvard&rsquo;s main objective is to spread quality education rather than looting understudies despite being one of the finest institutes of the world. They get hundreds of thousands of admission applications from all over the world and they take only few who are the most eligible and intelligent. Intelligent students are not necessarily financially strong and studying abroad is very expensive. Harvard does its best to help them in this regard.

	Harvard is one of the institutes to provide most grants and scholarships to its eligible students. Every year 560 students receive full grant of an average of $56,268. Although federal aid and loans are often unavailable to international students, Harvard University provides 70% of all its students with financial aid and 60% of undergraduates receive the Harvard Scholarship.
