Yo, folks. I'm looking into Bard College as one of my top choices but can't find solid info on the cost of tuition. Anyone got any inside info or can point me to where I can find reliable numbers? Appreciate it.
Hello! I might be able to help you out. As of the 2024-2025 school year, the tuition for Bard College is about $65,614 per year. This is just for the tuition and does not include other costs like room and board, fees, books, and personal expenses, which can add up to an additional $20,000 or more per year.
It's essential to note that the "sticker price" isn't necessarily what every student pays. Bard College does offer need-based and merit scholarships, which can significantly reduce the cost. I would strongly recommend using Bard College's Net Price Calculator (https://npc.collegeboard.org/app/bard) to get an estimated cost specific to your financial situation. The Net Price Calculator takes into consideration factors like family income and potential financial aid to give a better estimate of what you'd be expected to pay.
Remember, understanding your financial aid options and what your prospective school's costs look like are crucial steps in the college application process. Good luck with your research!
