Thank You
to Our Scholarship Donors for Lighting the Way
In a time filled with challenges and uncertainty, our community of alumnae, parents, family members, and friends of the College continued to help Barnard uphold its mission to give financial aid to all qualified applicants and to provide a singular educational experience through scholarship gifts. Endowed scholarship funds bolster the Barnard experience and provide lasting support to the College, as they are permanently invested in Barnard’s endowment. Current-use scholarship funds help us meet the immediate needs of our students. Thank you, scholarship donors, for your dedication to Barnard’s students and to the College’s mission.
