Registering and Paying Tuition
Once a student is admitted they will have 2 weeks to register for their program in our registration portal (CampDoc). Failure to register within these two weeks will result in a student losing their spot in their program and course. Please note that a program and/or course may fill up during that time.
Our office requires a 10% deposit towards tuition at the time of registration, but families are welcome to pay any amount over that at that time. Students and families will be able to access their registration portal 24/7 to pay tuition in as many or as few installments as they want up until the deadline for tuition to be paid in full.
Our registration portal accepts all major credit cards.
Families are also able to pay tuition via check. Once your check is received and processed, your balance will update in your registration portal.
Checks MUST be made out to "Barnard College." Please include your student's name in the memo section and mail the check to:
Barnard College
Office of Pre-College Programs
3009 Broadway
New York, NY 10027
Tuition Payment Deadline
Tuition fees for all our programs must be paid in full by May 29, 2026.
Financial Aid
Each year our office is able to provide a limited amount of need-based financial aid to students. Our office does not provide merit based scholarships.
Our office does not provide financial aid for international students.
To be considered for financial aid, students must submit the required financial aid application and documents along with their Pre-College Program Application. Financial aid applications, like program applications, are reviewed on a rolling basis. Students are encouraged to apply as soon as possible if they wish to apply for financial aid. After a student is accepted to the program, they will receive a follow up email letting them know whether or not we are able to award them aid. Students who receive aid will have their package applied to their tuition balance after registration.
Financial aid applications are due February 9th, 2026.
Financial Aid Application Requirements
- Financial Aid Form
- 2024 Parent/Guardian Tax Returns
- 2024 Parent/Guardian W2s
- A brief letter explaining any major family financial changes in 2025 (optional)
