<p>Hey everyone!</p>
<p>Did anyone else get a letter from Harvard talking about the financial aid initiative? I had the letter at noon, and it pretty much said "We are impressed with your achievements, blah blah". There was also a postcard attached, that you could send in. If anyone knows what the card said and could post what it said here, that would be great.</p>
<p>My mother purposefully threw out the letter, so I don't have it anymore. If there's anyone that can help me out, that would be great. I know the letter itself doesn't mean anything, but I want to know what the card said so that I'm not missing out on any information.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Then in bold:
Parents and families with incomes less than $60,000 will no longer be expected to contribute to the cost of their children attending Harvard College.
In addition, Harvard will reduce the contributions of families with incomes between 60000 and 80000.
Harvard is open to talented students from all economic backgrounds. Financial aid is based on demonstrated need.
