Academic Departments and Programs

Those seeking funding must complete the Harvard Chan financial aid application process, as academic departments and programs rely heavily on the information you provide OFA.

If you have received your admissions decision and are having trouble locating your financial aid decision, please refer to the following:

After viewing your Admissions decision letter, there should be a “Continue” button at the bottom that will take you to your Admitted Student Portal. Once there, you should see a section for Financial Aid with a button that says “View Financial Aid Communication”. That button should take you to your financial aid decision. If you are still unable to view your financial aid information, please contact the Office of Financial Aid at financialaid@hsph.harvard.edu.

If you have general questions about financial aid, contact the Office of Financial Aid first. For more information regarding your scholarship decision or specifics about the decision process, please refer to the links below:

Important Considerations

  • Applicants given verbal offers of funding by academic departments or programs should request confirmation in writing
  • Unless otherwise specified, renewals of funding for subsequent years may not be guaranteed
  • Funding may not be guaranteed if a student changes their program, degree or department
  • Changes in enrollment status (i.e. full- to part-time), may result in adjusted funding levels
