Chance for next year

[calmom]

<p>I don’t know if the above sentence is just worded ambiguously or if you are mistaken in your understanding, but Barnard’s policy as to outside scholarships is to apply the money first to the self-help portion of the financial aid portion award, to reduce loans and work-study; beyond that they are subtracted from the Barnard grant. It cannot be applied to EFC. See: [Barnard</a> College Financial Aid](<a href=“http://www.barnard.edu/finaid/scholarships.html#TREATMENT]Barnard”>http://www.barnard.edu/finaid/scholarships.html#TREATMENT)</p>

<p>

For students on financial aid, Barnard’s policy is to reduce or eliminate the loan and in-college work portion of the financial aid package before reducing any part of the Barnard College Grant. If the outside scholarship exceeds the amount of loan and work funds awarded, the grant then gets reduced by the remaining balance. For example, if a first-year student receives an outside scholarship of $5,500, this scholarship would replace the self-help portion (loan and work) of her package which equals $5,300. Her Barnard grant would then be reduced by the remaining balance of $200.00.
