We enthusiastically welcome alumni from all Harvard schools, and extend membership and membership benefits to partners of alumni and parents of current students. Dues are our main source of funding for all the events we hold and they allow us to keep the costs of our events low. Other membership benefits include:
- Access to diverse and exclusive programs. Last year, our Club held more than 50 events – social gatherings, networking events, sports games, intellectual discussions – you name it, we’re doing it! As a member, you’ll benefit from reduced pricing all year long, beginning with a discount for our Fall Opener, and priority seating at limited space events.
- An instant social community and outlet for your energy and ideas. Joining our active Programs Committee is a great way to meet others who are interested in creating opportunities to explore Philadelphia alongside fellow Harvard alumni.
- The chance to assist a prospective student in the application process and help Harvard select its incoming class. Our Schools Committee facilitated more than 500 interviews of prospective Harvard students last year. Interviews are a critical component of the applications process and an excellent way for alumni to stay connected.
- The opportunity to help local students finance their Harvard education. Our Club distributes more than $50,000 each year in financial aid to local admits. Your contribution to our Scholarship Fund directly supports students from the greater Philadelphia area.
- As a participating club in the HAA Global Pass program, members may attend events held by other participating clubs, on a space-available basis, and pay the local member price.
Please JOIN NOW to take advantage of all that the Harvard Community in Philadelphia has to offer; we hope to see you at upcoming events!
Our goal is that the Harvard Club of Philadelphia be an inclusive and accessible community for its members. If there is an event of special interest that does not fit your financial circumstances at the time, please email us at programs@hrcphilly.com and we’ll work with you to make it happen.
