About Us

One organization. Every stage of the journey.

Harvard Student Agencies runs two flagship programs — immersive summer academies and personalized year-round tutoring — both staffed entirely by current Harvard undergraduates.

Our Mission

Connecting students everywhere with Harvard’s brightest.

Harvard Student Agencies exists to bridge students from every background with Harvard’s undergraduates. Through The Academies, we open Harvard-quality exploratory courses that transcend the traditional classroom. Through HSA Tutoring, we pair students with passionate Harvard mentors for personalized academic support, standardized-test preparation, and college-admissions guidance.

Whatever the path, our goal is the same: to help every student feel confident navigating their future.

Our Vision

Cultivating the innovators of tomorrow.

We aim to cultivate a passion for innovation in our future leaders by equipping them with the tools to inspire change — the curiosity to explore new subjects, the discipline to master hard ones, and the mentorship to see themselves at any university they set their sights on.
