The source material (https://college.harvard.edu/admissions/why-harvard/affordability https://college.harvard.edu/admissions/why-harvard/affordabi...) answers this:
> Once you're admitted, the Financial Aid Committee will assess your family’s financial need and offer you an award to meet it. We determine need based on your family’s income, assets, and overall financial circumstances. … We know that each student's financial circumstances are unique. Your financial aid officer will work with you all four years to understand your needs and take the stress out of affording Harvard.
- jamesrcole 2y agoThe text you quote doesn’t really answer the question. Does “number of kids” come under their interpretation of “overall financial circumstances”?
- CaliforniaKarl 2y agoBest I can answer is this: https://college.harvard.edu/admissions/why-harvard/affordability https://college.harvard.edu/admissions/why-harvard/affordabi... (the page I referenced) has a link to https://college.harvard.edu/financial-aid/net-price-calculator https://college.harvard.edu/financial-aid/net-price-calculat..., and that page asks for both the size of the family, and the number of children in college. From that, I infer that they take the number of kids into account in some way.
