Barnard
offers bright young women a unique educational experience,
and one that it is expensive to produce. The rigorous exploration
of ideas through engaged discussion and debate requires small
class sizes and a low teacher/student ratio. Hands-on learning
opportunities in the lab and in the field depend upon adequate
resources and up-to-date facilities.
Because
Barnard keeps tuition increases to a minimum, every student—even
those whose families are able to pay full tuition—receives
the equivalent of a 30-percent subsidy on her education, when
all costs are considered. Barnard Fund contributors help bridge
this gap through their annual gifts. In 2005-06, more than
10,000 alumnae, parents, and friends made a $5.3-million investment
in Barnard women by contributing to The Barnard Fund. Following
are some of the students, faculty, and resources that benefited
from this support.
