Now, what does demonstrated financial need mean? It's basically the financial need that you have that your family cannot cover
0:46
So basically, you give the university, the university's information about your family's financial situation
0:55
like your tax information and et cetera. And the university takes that and estimate
0:59
a family contribution, which is basically like how much your family can contribute to your
1:05
financial needs during your studies. And the rest of your financial need, so rest of what
1:13
the university calculates as your financial needs that your family cannot cover is your
1:20
demonstrated needs. So the university covers that demonstrated needs. Basically, it doesn't matter
1:25
whether it's tuition, whether it's like accommodation or, or it's like living stipends and etc
1:32

Find the perfect scholarship right now. And basically, as you can see, I mean, the university is Harvard
2:07
I don't think we really need to talk about the university. I mean, Harvard, everybody knows Harvard
2:14
So it's in Cambridge, United States, a very, very high, like, one of the best, if not the best schools in the world, universities in the world
2:26
Basically, as you can see, there are some scholarships, not that many students to be. students and we have information about like application process here
2:34
Application, if I remember correctly is done, it can be done through something called Common App
2:39
And go let me actually show youANG. So basically it's a platform that you can use to apply for a lot of universities, including a lot of American universities
2:51
So this is Common App. Basically you go here and create a profile, application profile, and then use that application profile
2:59
profile to apply for a lot of universities in the United States Apply to college for the first time or transfer to complete your degree Basically so you don as you can see explore more than a thousand colleges on Common App
3:13
So basically, you don't have to go through the application process for every different school
3:19
You go to Common App and a lot of universities in the United States accept Common App applications
3:25
Harvard is one of them. But you can get more information about clicking these links
3:30
we have deadlines here for bachelor's and masters and as you can see we have tuition fees
3:36
tuition fees are kind of high but like it's not the highest you could see you would see in
3:42
the united states like 50,000 because in the united states tuition fees can go up to like 60,000
3:48
in fact i think uh like there are some that has like more than 70,000 dollars in tuition fees
3:55
that is on average by the way and never mind so it's still quite high
4:00
high, extremely high, I would say, a lot of people will not be able to afford this
4:05
And as you can see, we have some scholarships here. This is the university's page
4:10
This is the page we have for the entire university. As you can see, there is one undergraduate scholarship
4:16
This is financial aid, the one we are talking about. Some scholarships for graduate students, PhD degree funding, real collegial complotense scholarships, and etc
4:28
So basically, this is the university and you don't know where the university is
4:32
I don't think that there is anyone who doesn't know about the school
4:40
But still, like, if you don't know, this is where it is. In the United States, East Coast
4:48
All right, this is the university. Again, not much to say here, like, one of the best universities in the world
4:54
but like best one of the most exclusive universities in the world
5:00
okay so this is the school if you want to get more information
5:07
about the scholarship basically under the eligibility criteria we have financial aid pages
5:13
that takes us to the university's page for the scholarship and as you can see we have apply for financial aid
5:20
there's more information here basically once we have reviewed your information and determined your demonstrated need, you will be notified
5:30
So basically, you apply for this. When you apply for the university, you encourage you to apply for financial aid at the same time as you apply for admission
5:40
Some universities require you to apply when you apply to the university, and then you cannot apply
5:47
We cannot apply in the future. but that is not true for Harvard
5:54
Basically, you are welcome to apply for aid each year, whether for your first year or senior year
6:00
If you applied for aid in the previous academic year, we will automatically email you instructions for reapplying for the following year
6:08
So basically, you give them, again, information. Like you will be asked to provide information about your family income and assets outside awards and unusual so then our financial aid officers work closely with you to determine
6:23
your demonstrated need and your family's expected contribution basically like how much
6:27
your can family cover how much additional funds you need as a student you will probably
6:33
need as a student and then they they give you basically that money and and hang on there was more yeah
6:44
so one thing that is important about Harvard is Harvard is need blind
6:49
what it means that some universities like there are two types of approach
6:56
this need blind and need wear basically quite a lot of American universities
7:01
are need blind for domestic students American students and need wear for international students
7:07
what it means is basically you you apply to the university and if the university is
7:14
need blind, when you say you need financial aid, they just don't care
7:18
like it doesn't get considered. Basically, hang on. Where? I think. Rest assured that applying for financial
7:26
aid will in no way jeopardize your chances of admission. So this means
7:30
the universities need blind. So basically they don't care if you need financial
7:34
aid. If they're going to accept you as a student, admit you to the school
7:38
they will admit you whether you need financial aid or not and then then you can apply for financial aid so like needing financial aid doesn't
7:46
really hinder your chances of applying chances of being admitted to the university but if the university
7:53
is need aware which some like some universities are for international students in the united states
7:59
basically they will keep in mind that you also need financial aid when deciding whether to admit you
8:07
to do university or not so keep that in mind Harvard, it's already an extremely competitive university
8:15
So, like, if you are chosen as a good student to be admitted to the university
8:22
they don't care if you also need financial aid. So, yeah, you may be required to submit additional financial aid forms, etc., etc
8:30
And we have here financial aid forms, application requirements. If you want more information, you can click on these
8:37
Basically, what do you use? Hang on. Hang on. Where was it
8:43
As you can see, this is application to the university, by the way
8:49
We accept the common application and the coalition application bias. So basically, the common application, you can find a lot of tutorials on the internet
8:58
We don't have a tutorial specifically for Common App, but we do have a tutorial for Cornell University
9:06
Basically, it's the same thing. Like we, the tutorial takes you from the point where you type Cornell University to Google
9:15
and it takes you step by step to the point where you have to like finish your application and you have to pay application fees So basically you can use the same tutorial and same process for applying to Harvard Like Common App is pretty much the same Some universities have some things that they also require
9:34
like maybe some additional essay, some additional personal statement, some additional documents and et cetera
9:43
But the rest is pretty much the same. The main bulk is the same for every university in Common Apps
9:48
So we have financial aid forms. No, hang on. Learn about how to apply, yeah, here it is
9:55
Learn about how to apply for financial aid. We can get more information there
10:00
Basically, to process to apply, the process to apply for financial aid is essentially the same
10:06
for all prospective students, regardless of your student citizenship or when you are applying
10:13
You'll need to submit a CSS profile and an IDOC packet. So basically, CSS is, a CSS profile is, let me show you CSS 2
10:24
So basically CSS is another platform that helps students find scholarships. So like the financial aid and etc
10:37
As you can see, each year CSS profile unlocks access to more than 10 billion dollars
10:42
in non-federal aid to thousands of students. So basically, you, you go to CSS, it's college scholarship services in my, like, if I remember correctly, CSS
10:54
basically create a profile here too and you give them information about your like financial status
11:03
your families, hang on, yeah, your family's text information and etc. And so you then you can use that CSS profile to apply for like
11:16
need-based scholarships and need-based financial aids like this one. So basically, you create a CSS profile there
11:25
File the online 224-25 CSS profile via the college board. Make sure to include and etc
11:32
You can get more information by reading this entirety in entirety. By the way, I will put the link for this scholarship in the description and in comments
11:44
So, like, if you're interested, you can look it up. Basically, you just give them information about your financial situation and then you can use that platform and that profile and that information to apply for financial aids in other universities as well
12:00
So, yeah, basically this is it. You create your CSS profile, gather all the requirements and submit to the IDOC service and complete your application and await for results
12:12
Again, it's Harvard. It's extremely competitive. But if you get accepted, there's a very really good chance that you will get financial aid. And they don't care that you need financial aid. They will not hold it against you, which is a great thing for you. Yeah, that's basically it
