Barnard Bound is for high school seniors and juniors who are first-generation college students or come from low-income backgrounds. All accepted participants join weekly virtual programming on the application process and the first-gen/low-income college experience, and a select cohort is chosen for a fully funded, in-person visit to Barnard's New York City campus. Travel scholarships are available for students outside the NYC metro area with demonstrated need, and program-related meals and transit are covered for all on-campus attendees.
EligibilityFor first-generation college students and/or students from low-income backgrounds
