Does Barnard College offer merit scholarships to admitted students?

I'm a high school junior looking at Barnard and trying to figure out how to plan financially before I get too attached to a school I might not be able to afford.

Most of the colleges on my list either give merit aid or only need-based aid, and I'm confused about where Barnard falls.

Barnard primarily offers need-based financial aid, not merit scholarships for most admitted students.

That means Barnard’s aid is generally based on your family’s financial circumstances rather than grades, test scores, or extracurricular achievements alone. If you are admitted and need help paying, the main question is whether you qualify for need-based aid.

If you are planning ahead, the most useful step is to run Barnard’s Net Price Calculator with your family.
