Types of Aid

Three general types of financial assistance are available to students:
  1. grants and scholarships, which do not require repayment and entail no work obligation;
  2. loans, with varying interest rates and payment schedules; and
  3. work-study, which is earned for part-time employment on or off campus.
Depending on the type of aid, the program may be administered by Bard College or by external agencies. Typically, financial aid funds administered by the College are awarded on the basis of financial need (as determined by the federal government, the College Scholarship Service, and Bard College), academic achievement, and promise.

Federal Aid

Each student’s eligibility for federal programs is determined as part of the process of creating a financial aid package. Federal loans and grants may contribute significantly to the aid package.
