FIRST-YEAR - CLASS OF 2013
(including Barnard Opportunity Program applicants)

Applicants who need supplemental funds to cover College costs are encouraged to apply for financial aid from Barnard. The decision of the Committee on Admissions to admit a student is not affected by the fact that a student has applied for or demonstrated need for financial aid. All information submitted by the student and her family in support of her application for financial aid is treated with utmost confidentiality. Entering first-year students are notified of financial aid decisions when they are notified of admission.

Barnard Opportunity Program (BOP) Scholars applicants should complete the same financial aid application forms as regular decision applicants. Click here for more information about BOP.

Barnard College participates in the College Board's Institutional Document Service (IDOC). All 2008 paper documentation must be submitted to IDOC, along with an IDOC Cover Sheet.
