<p>Just wondering, I know that Harvard lets you use 2500 of your extra scholarship money for the purchase of a computer plus other equipments. I'm looking for the advice of someone who has done this program in previous years. I do have the form to apply for a reimbursement but it didn't clearly say whether or not we need to send in CPU codes from the products or just the receipts...</p>

<p>The reason I ask that is because I don't know whether or not I want to return something after I submit in the forms.</p>

<p>Hey! I recieved the computer reimbursement as well. I would try and email Christopher J. Looby" <a href="mailto:looby@fas.harvard.edu">looby@fas.harvard.edu</a> becuse he was the person that personally helped and wrote the letter for the reimbursement. I'm a little confused myself.</p>

<p>2 days ago my son sent in the computer reimbursement form with a copy of the receipt and that was it. We are waiting to hear back from H. I believe this is all they require.</p>

4

<p>We did it two years ago, and all it required was the receipts. Bear in mind that the reimbursement will cover the laptop, printer, software, extra memory, etc. but no "luxury" peripherals such as iPods and cameras.</p>

<p>gadad,</p>

<p>Was the process quick or did it take some time for the credit to appear?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

6

<p>Is the computer reimbursement form available online?</p>

7

<p>no, you have to call the FAO and tell them to mail you a copy</p>

<p>I recall it as relatively quick - I've never been anything but delighted with my dealings with the Financial Aid Office. Aznp - I don't believe the reimbursement form is online; as far as I know you need to contact your Financial Aid officer for it: Harvard</a> College Financial Aid Office - Contact - Staff Directory</p>

<p>Thank you! I will do so when I arrive at Harvard - I will be purchasing the computer through Harvard anyhow.</p>

<p>just a thought aznprincess, if you're gonna be buying a mac, their back to school sales end september 15</p>

<p>Hamman, thanks for the reminder! I think I will try to purchase it over the summer and pick it up upon arrival (less to carry on the airplane).</p>

12

<p>lol, another reminder
if you live out of state, you should order it and ship it home. I know it might be a hassle to bring it back to harvard but if you ship it home, you only have to pay the 30 dollars shipping fee, instead of the 5% tax. Out of state people don't have to pay tax, except for like MA and one other state</p>

<p>We live in California and my son had to pay shipping and tax.</p>

14

<p>Shipping for me (MacBook and the free iPod touch+photo printer) was $15. Much, much, cheaper than paying the tax in MA.</p>

<p>yeah, guitars101, are you sure you ordered from the apple store from harvard or just the online apple store?</p>
