    Does Harvard University offer degree in Theology? Does it provide and take care of the cost of the housing for overseas students who may apply for financial aid?

    • Hyun Lee October 21, 2023 at 4:45 pm - Reply

      Yes, Harvard does offer degrees in Theology, although for undergraduate, it is a concentration in religion. For Master’s and doctoral degrees, please see the Harvard Divinity School Page. For undergraduate, Harvard University does offer financial aid that covers 100% of the demonstrated need up to full tuition and living expenses. For Master’s in Theology, they do offer limited institutional aid, and for Ph.D. in Theology, it is fully funded, meaning full tuition and living stipend.

    My age is about 60 years. I am already Ph.D. in Zoology from Pakistan. Now I want to some short term Spoken English course. I want ask if some such type of course is available in the university. The other question if some scholarship will be available for that because it is not possible for me to bear the expenses of the course.

    Hello! Can anyone please tell me about the fully funded scholarships for Indians for MPH program.

    • Hyun Lee March 12, 2024 at 7:54 am - Reply

      MPH is a professional degree and is a cash cow program for many of the departments including Harvard. I know that Harvard doesn’t give much scholarships for its MPH programs. I suggest going to a state school with affordable tuition if you are lower on finance.
