Q: Does HSDM accepts community college credits?

A: If your current four-year university recognizes your community credits, and they can be transferred onto your four-year transcript, I believe they will count them. However, we do not represent HSDM administration, and I encourage you to contact admissions directly at hsdm_dmd_admissions@hsdm.harvard.edu for the most accurate information.

Q: What type of need-based scholarships do dental schools offer?

A: I am not aware of how need-based scholarships work at all universities. It can vary greatly from school to school. As I understand it, Harvard does have some need-based scholarship assistance available, and they assign scholarships based on information collected from students after admission. However, we do not represent HSDM administration, and I encourage you to reach out to them at hsdm_dmd_admissions@hsdm.harvard.edu for more specific information. Additionally, while meant primarily for enrolled students, HSDM’s Financial Aid Manual(found here) provides the most comprehensive understanding of the school’s financial aid process and offerings.
