Harvard Pre-College Program

The Harvard Pre-College Program is a two-week residential summer program for high school students that includes tuition, room and meal plan, a program fee, and accident and sickness insurance. The program charges an application fee and a full program fee for 2026. A limited number of need-based scholarships are awarded to eligible students to assist with program costs.

Program participation includes tuition, room and meal plan, program fee, and accident and sickness insurance for the two-week session. Financial aid awards may cover a portion of the tuition/costs.

To be eligible for financial aid, applicants must be a U.S. citizen, U.S. permanent resident, or be granted Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status. Applicants must complete the program application and the financial aid section within the program application portal on time.

Apply via the program application portal; the financial aid application is included within that portal and must be completed before submitting the program application. Applicants will be asked for tax documents (2024 1040 and W-2 forms) and information on assets.
