@NYCGirl33 @“aunt bea” According to Barnard’s website, the college is “need aware” for international students and international students must apply for financial aid at the time they apply for admission or they will not be eligible for FA for the entire time at Barnard. What this means is that it is considerably harder for an international student needing financial aid to be admitted. On the other hand, they do commit to meet the full need of any admitted international student.

If you need financial aid to attend, by all means apply for it. Otherwise you will have no way to finance your time there. Just be aware of the increased competition. It’s the same at most other colleges.
