Overview

Financial Information

• Scholarships and Financial Aid:
  Fall transfers are eligible for both institutional need-based grant aid and for federal and state aid. For those transfers who are admitted with financial need, Barnard remains committed to meeting the full demonstrated need in our financial aid packaging. Barnard does not offer institutional financial aid to spring transfer students. Federal student aid (loans and Pell Grant) are still available to students who qualify.

Information for Transfer In Students

• Accepts Transfers:
  Students are welcome to apply for transfer admission to Barnard if they have completed 24-60 transferable credits at another institution following high school. Transfer applicants are reviewed by a small committee.
