HARVARD SCHOLARSHIPS :Harvard President Lawrence H. Summers announced in February 2004 a major new initiative designed
to encourage talented students from families of low and moderate income to attend Harvard College. While the new initiative has four
major components, including recruitment, admissions, and a summer academic program designed to prepare talented students from
financially disadvantaged backgrounds for college; the financial aid component increases aid for students from low and moderate
income families. Beginning with the 2012 year, parents in families with incomes of less than $65,000 will no longer be expected to
contribute to the cost of attending Harvard for their children. In addition, Harvard will reduce the contributions expected of families with
incomes over $60,000. If you know of a family with an honor student graduating from high school soon, Harvard University wants to
pay the tuition. To find out more go to http://www.fao.fas.harvard.edu/ or call the schools financial aid office at (617) 495- 1581.
