In accordance with the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008, by October 29, 2011, each postsecondary institution that participates in Title IV federal student aid programs must post a net price calculator on its website that uses institutional data to provide estimated net price information to current and prospective students and their families based on a student’s individual circumstances. Each college's calculator is designed to reflect the resources and financial aid policies of an individual institution.
The calculator linked above will provide an estimate of what a student and her family may be expected to contribute toward college costs at Barnard. When the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is subtracted from total cost of attendance, the resulting calculation is considered to be a student's demonstrated financial need. It is important to know that the estimator is only as reliable as data submitted. It does not represent a final say in terms of the financial packages students and their families will receive, especially if estimated numbers and actual documentation of income or assets differ.
If you have questions regarding financial aid at Barnard College, please contact our Office of Financial Aid directly at 212-854-2154.
