BOP Scholars Program Components
Below is a sample of the support services available to Barnard College BOP Scholars:
- A full financial aid package to insure that finances do not prevent you from attending. Barnard’s financial aid package will include a combination of grants, loans, and work aid to insure that your primary focus is academic, not financial.
- An intensive 6-week summer program. All BOP Scholars are required to participate in a 6-week residential summer program prior to their first year at Barnard. This program is designed to help students strengthen their skills in math, science, literary analysis, writing, research, and computer use. The summer program also helps students familiarize themselves with the Barnard and Columbia neighborhood prior to the start of school.
- Academic year events. The HEOP/BOP office hosts various social events throughout academic year, including the annual HEOP/BOP luncheon and the HEOP/BOP Alumnae Speaker Series.
- Free tutoring and counseling. The HEOP/BOP Office offers its students free tutoring and counseling during the school year, as well as the use of textbooks and laptop computers. Students are also given free access to fax/copy machines, long distance phone calls for educational or job-related purposes, and learning disability testing (if needed).
- The opportunity (if needed) to complete your undergraduate degree in 5 years with financial aid. While BOP Scholars are expected to graduate from college within 4 years, they are able to enroll at Barnard for an additional year in order to graduate.
- A committed HEOP/BOP staff on call throughout the year to help you manage the challenges associated with a new academic environment, a busy campus life, and living away from home. Frequent study/social events are also sponsored by the staff.
In addition, BOP juniors and seniors receive financial assistance with the following:
- Free graduate or professional exam review courses;
- Graduate school application fee waivers;
- Additional senior thesis writing support from the Barnard College Writing Center staff (as needed).
