<p>I'm an international student who is going to apply to Harvard for early decision. Is it possible that I could request financial aid when applying for early decision? </p>
<p>Also, if I request for "full" financial aid, and they (admission officers) think that I shouldn't get the "full" financial aid, will they just not give me any aid at all (thinking that I won't be abe to attend if I don't receive "full" financial aid) or at least give me partial aid?
Anyone who knows, please reply. Thank You</p>

<p>Harvard doesn't have early decision. In most cases, ED means that if you are accepted by the college, you have to go there.</p>
<p>Harvard has nonbinding, single choice early action. This means that if you apply to Harvard EA, you can't apply EA or ED elsewhere. It also means that if you are accepted to Harvard, you are not committed to go there. You can apply elsewhere RD.</p>
<p>Harvard promises to provide 100% of the documented financial need for all accepted students regardless of nationality. Remember, however, that what Harvard thinks your family needs may not be what your family thinks they need. Financial need is not taken into consideration for Harvard's admissions decisions.</p>

<p>In addition you will not get Harvard's financial aid package until April 1 when the regular admissions packets go out. If you get in EA, apply no where else and the money is now what you thought it would be you could be stuck and still not be able to attend because you don't have the money.</p>
