<p>Barnard’s policy now is to deny work study to all seniors – they encourage an off-campus job and expect the earnings from that job to be part of the student’s contribution. </p>
<p>They are very, very clear about that. (Believe me… we had a rather prolonged discussion with the financial aid people, as my daughter was not aware of this when she took off for her semester abroad… it means she will probably have to spend a lot more time bartending in the fall than she had planned)</p>

<p>It is possible for a senior to get a “Barnard College job” (not work-study) but the pay is still pretty low. </p>
<p>Also, I checked the wayback machine (<a href=“http://www.archive.org%5B/url%5D”>www.archive.org</a>) and the text about seniors working off campus was the same back in April 2006, which is as far back as archived pages go:

<p>Are you sure your daughter was paid from work-study funds?</p>
