This program will benefit students as well as the university as a whole, allowing it to recruit and admit students that would be otherwise unable to attend. The trend toward expansion of financial aid was also seen in initiatives at Harvard Law School, Harvard Medical School, and the Harvard Graduate School of Design, which all expanded their financial aid programs.
