Harvard announced today a major increase in its annual scholarship program for undergraduates. The new plan underscores Harvards dual commitment to need-blind admissions and need-based aid, and reduces the amount that students are expected to contribute to their education. Students will now face less debt on graduation, and they will have more time to concentrate on academic and extracurricular pursuits while they are in the College.
