Visa Sponsorship at Harvard

The University sponsors visas for individuals with temporary academic appointments, including scholars and student interns, so they can enter and stay in the U.S. for the duration of their appointment.

Hiring International Students

Under certain circumstances, the U.S. government allows an international student in either F-1 or J-1 status to request work permission beyond the graduation date in order to gain practical work experience related to their field of study in the U.S.
