Financial Aid Package Notification

When is Harvard sending out people’s official financial aid packages this year? Will it be April 1st?

My sons received their financial aid offers with their acceptance letters. It’s a whole packet/ folder of information. According to the Harvard Gazette last year they were mailed at 5 PM March 31.

@lacgrad I was actually admitted back in early December, does this change anything or would I receive mine on March 31st as well? Thanks.

If you and your parents completed the necessary paperwork by the 2016 deadline, which includes submitting the CSS Profile and 2015 tax returns through the IDOC system, along with the FAFSA if you are a US Citizen, your finalized award should be mailed this week. If you haven’t received a finalized award letter by this Monday, I would call the Financial Aid Office and make an inquiry.

Yes, you should receive it any day. My son who was admitted EA received an estimated FA award in December and then the finalized FA award at the end of March. Of course, this assumes all necessary paperwork was completed.
