<p>Barnard’s web site is pretty clear. They currently require all entering students to contribute at least $1,900 from summer earnings for first year enrollment – see [Barnard</a> College Financial Aid](<a href=“http://www.barnard.edu/finaid/budgeting.html#self-help]Barnard”>http://www.barnard.edu/finaid/budgeting.html#self-help) - and they require Stafford and/or Perkins loans and work-study or a campus job on top of that. Barnard offers no merit aid.</p>
