Why they came

Name a Financial Aid Fund
Leadership-level donors can create an endowed fund to provide stable support in perpetuity, or a current-use financial aid fund that is spent down and can be put to work immediately. Donors to financial aid may have the opportunity to meet with the recipients of their scholarships and hear from them during their course of study. Contact giving@hsph.harvard.edu or call 617-432-8470 to learn more about named financial aid fund opportunities.
Due to the diversity of student circumstances, financial aid funds may provide varying levels of support to one or more students.
