Harvard Outreach Scholarship Alameda County

I'm a Harvard interviewer and Co-Chairperson of the
Harvard Outreach Scholarship Committee for Alameda
County. The Outreach program started this year will
provide a free ride to Harvard for all high school
students who get in whose family income is $40K or
less annually. The cost to the family is zero. The
$40-60K income range has incentives to make it
affordable too; the cost to the family is not zero.
Exceptional students you know who may qualify please
forward them my way and have them contact the HU
Admissions Office. The cost of the application
process can be waived. The offer applies to any
student of any background as long as their income
profile fits the program. To tie together interested
parents, teachers, officials, counselors and educators
in the County with the Harvard alumnae and alumni in
charge of this effort I've created a mailing list you
can join at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/harvard-outreach-alameda
. The 11 Harvard interviewers with me on the
Committee are on the list currently. Harvard is not
getting the share of exceptional low income students
that we would like. This program is to send a strong
and permanent message that we will turn this around.
Junior High and High School freshman need to know that
this scholarship is a possibility and that Harvard has
the resources to make the pledge. Subscribe to the
above cited mailing list. Ask any appropriate
questions that you would like of the Committee.
Please refer us to County educators you know who might
be interested in joining the discussion. Early Action
letters are mailed this week. There is still time to
apply for the upcoming normal admissions cycle.
Regards.
