Graduate Student Assistance Program (GSAP)
Harvard University is pleased to announce the launch of a year-long pilot called the Graduate Student Assistance Program (GSAP).
The GSAP is designed to provide graduate students with a free, confidential, and efficient way to access services that assist with individual life balance needs. The GSAP is not a cash-grant or loan program. Instead, it provides a range of services at low or no cost to help graduate students find the right solutions for their individual situations.
The GSAP can provide assistance with
- legal referrals
- child and elder-care issues
- budget and debt counseling
All GSD students and their immediate family members are eligible. Best of all, access is available 24 hours a day via the Graduate Student Assistance website or by calling the toll-free line at 1-800-670-7194. There is no registration required when calling the toll-free number, however, please note there is a one-time registration process to access the confidential, PIN-protected Website. To register, click on "New members register here." The registration name is: Harvard GSAP (case sensitive). Follow instructions to complete the registration. The GSAP will not provide Harvard with any utilization information that contains personally identifying information.
