<p>Question,</p>
<p>In the past, Barnard has always been very specific about their policies concerning FA for domestic and international students. The have always met 100% of demonstrated need for domestic students and had limted aid for international students. (or at least they stated it this way when my D applied and was admitted for class of 08).</p>
<p>Since theoretically, their policy has not changed, why has there been a change in the wording as to how FA is being presented now? Now barnard even states that they only offer 3 need based scholarships for international student which is a change from its past practice.</p>
<p>I understand that the college would continue to meet 100% of demonstrated need for all students current students and to the class of 09 since their policy did state theis. However, if I had a student applying to Barnard today for the class of '10, I would not tell her with any certainty that the college is going to meet 100% of demonstrated need.</p>
