Which scholarships am I eligible for?
First-Year and Transfer BA Applicants
(except for students who have already completed an undergraduate degree)
Academy Year Applicants
An offer of scholarship/financial aid, unless otherwise stated, is made on the assumption that the applicant will be a full-time student and will incur full-time tuition, room and board charges at Bard College Berlin. If these assumptions are wrong, the applicant should expect a revision of the scholarship/financial aid offer.
Current Students
Institutional aid is awarded on an annual basis (per academic year) and applicants need to reapply each year. Students who enter Bard College Berlin with an institutional aid award must reapply each year. The continuation of institutional aid is generally offered at the same amount for up to four consecutive academic years, contingent upon the student's timely submission of required documents each year, the demonstration of a similar level of financial need, and the maintenance of good academic standing. Scholarship recipients must maintain a GPA of 3 or higher. The deadline for renewal of applications is April 1 of each year.
