Why
does Barnard need your support?
Every promising woman
deserves a Barnard education. To keep the Barnard experience
accessible, the College fully meets every student's demonstrated
financial need. This is why the annual support of alumnae,
parents, and friends is so vital.
Tuition covers only 69-percent
of a Barnard education's total cost. Even a student whose
family is able to pay full tuition receives the equivalent
of a 31-percent subsidy on her education, when all costs are
considered.
The Barnard endowment pales in comparison
to those of peer institutions. A stronger endowment is
needed to enhance Barnard's ability to attract and keep the
best faculty, improve research and residential facilities,
and provide students with scholarship and internships.
Barnard's dedicated and passionate
teacher/scholars must do more with less. Barnard professors
meet high standards of teaching and scholarship, but with
significantly fewer resources. For example, Barnard has only
11 named professorships; the number of professorships at our
peer colleges ranges from 30 to 70.
