Harvard encourages graduate students to sign up for food stamps

Harvard University recently encouraged its graduate students to enroll in government food assistance programs amid ongoing discussions about its immense wealth and growing scrutiny regarding the extent of support provided to its student community.

Harvard’s Health Services office circulated a flier promoting a sign-up event encouraging graduate students to participate in the SNAP program, Yahoo Finance reported. 

The flyer’s message emphasized the importance of maintaining nourishment and a stocked pantry, highlighting the potential eligibility of grad students for aid in covering food and grocery expenses.

Renowned as the wealthiest academic institution on a global scale, Harvard University boasts a substantial endowment of approximately $53 billion.
