## At A Glance

- **Application deadlines vary by** [**opportunity**](/opportunities "Harvard Summer Opportunities").
- Every Harvard-funded opportunity is assigned to one of **three rounds:** [**A**](#round-a)**,** [**B**](#round-b)**,** [**C**](#round-c)**.**
- **The application deadline date, date funding decisions are released,** and **the date you must accept or decline an offer** depend **on the funding round.**
- If you **accept** an offer in any round, you are **ineligible** to be funded in later rounds. **Once you accept an offer, y****ou will automatically be removed from consideration for other Harvard-funded opportunities for summer 2027.** For example, if you accept study abroad funding in Round A, you will not be considered for funding for any Round B or Round C opportunity.
    - **Exceptions** – In accordance with the [Harvard College Summer Funding Policy](https://oue.fas.harvard.edu/experiential-learning/summer-funding/), the following students will be considered for later round funding even if they accept funding in an earlier round:
        - Juniors seeking **thesis research** funding
        - Applicants to the [Priscilla Chan Summer Service Stipend](https://publicservice.fas.harvard.edu/priscilla-chan-summer-service-stipend) for the $1,000 supplementary cost-of-living stipend.
