Hi peeps

I’m in the process of applying to colleges and am really interested in Harvard. I’m an athlete and was wondering if Harvard offers athletic scholarships. I’ve heard that they have a strong athletic program, but I’m not sure how their financial aid works for athletes.

If they do offer scholarships, what are the requirements to qualify? Also, how does the application process differ for athletes compared to regular admissions?

I’m not familiar with the specific rules on scholarships, but Harvard significantly relaxes academic admissions standards for athletes and offers substantial financial aid to students who can’t afford tuition. Combined, these factors are essentially equivalent to scholarships.
