The Harvard University offers financial aid to all the undergraduate courses including B.A. in Art, Film, and Visual Studies. International students are eligible for exactly the same aid as American students. The financial aid is based on factors like family's income, assets, size, and unusual expenses. 

The university works on several principles such as: 

  • The financial aid is offered by the university based on students' needs, not on merits.  

  • A student's financial need and aid application will never affect the chance of being admitted to Harvard.
