I've decided to apply to Barnard College as a top choice, but I'm a bit confused about the financial aid deadline. Can someone please help clarify when exactly all my financial aid paperwork needs to be submitted? Thanks in advance!
Congrats on deciding to apply to Barnard College! I'm happy to help clarify the financial aid deadline for you. Financial aid deadlines depend on the application plan you choose, so here's a breakdown:
- Early Decision: If you're applying Early Decision to Barnard, the financial aid documents are due on November 1st, the same day as the application deadline.
- Regular Decision: If you're applying through Regular Decision, the financial aid deadline is January 15th, a little after the January 3rd application deadline.
In both cases, you'll generally need to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the College Scholarship Service (CSS) Profile as part of your financial aid application. Additionally, you may need to provide other documents such as tax returns and W-2 forms, so be sure to check the Barnard financial aid website for specific requirements.
Although these are the official deadlines, I recommend submitting your financial aid materials as early as possible to ensure a smooth process and avoid any delays. Good luck with your application!
