<p>Hey, I've been wondering...does Harvard offer merit based scholarships(Since everyone seems to be only talking about financial aid instead)?? If yes, how hard is it to get one and does applying for a scholarship affect your "ordinary" admission???</p>
<p>No, they only offer need based.</p>
<p>does applying for need based aid affect your chances of admission then??</p>
<p>it says "NO", if you search though Harvard website, the FAQ section... =)</p>
<p>haha, thanks</p>
