HEOP Scholars Program Components
Below is a sample of the support services available to Barnard College HEOP Scholars:
- A full financial aid package so that finances do not prevent you from attending Barnard. The financial aid package includes a combination of grants, loans, and work aid to ensure that your primary focus is academic, not financial.
- An intensive six-week summer program. All HEOP Scholars are required to participate in a six-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 office hosts various social events throughout academic year, including the annual HEOP luncheon and the HEOP Alumnae Speaker Series.
- Free tutoring and counseling. The HEOP 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).
- Up to five years with financial aid to complete degree requirements. HEOP Scholars can take up to 5 years to graduate (if needed)
- A committed HEOP 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, HEOP 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).
