20% of Harvard students pay nothing. [1]

55% receive needs based scholarships, with families making less than 150k per year paying less than 15k per year.

Sure there are a lot of rich kids and legacies. But to say it only benefits the wealthy is just wrong.

It connects wealthy to smart kids so they can continue to protect their wealth.

The poor kids are there to benefit the legacy kids.
