<p>Does anyone know when Bard typically sends these out? Makes no sense for to go to Accepted Students day if the school won’t be financially viable.</p>
<p>Well, S just got a very generous $20k per year scholarship offer from Bard, but he has already decided on Tulane.</p>
<p>They were supposively begining to send them out yesterday.</p>
<p>24K a year in Bard scholarship! Sickkk.</p>

<p>20k per year, but not going.</p>
<p>about 32K because of the EEC scholarship, but i can't decide between bard and uchicago.</p>
<p>I received $36,427 in aid..it cost 49,000 including everything a year..so Im not sure about it but..that's a good amount of money</p>
<p>bard is giving me 26K, which is the main reason i am going. they offered me the highest scholarship. if only tulane would match it :(</p>
<p>To Bella89: congrats on the scholarship! I believe you mentioned on another thread that you were interested in sciences. Were you awarded one of the "Distinguished Scientist" scholarships? I would be interested to hear your assessment of Bard's new commitment to the sciences. Bard impressed me when I visited in April, but I have some concerns about the depth of the physical science departments. Thanks.</p>
<p>I wasn't aware at the time I applied of the DSS scholarship and when I applied for it (the second round) they had already filled positions. When I visited and saw the new sciences building, it was absolutely beautiful. I am worried about their science department because the sciences aren't a particular "strong point" at Bard but they are doing a lot to change that and bring more opportunities/research work/internships to students. I also plan on applying to medical school and I know last year only five students went on to medical school. So just think of the amount of personal attention sciences students probably get from professors.</p>
<p>Thanks bella. Given Bard's comparative lack of strength in the sciences, what about the school did you personally find compelling?</p>
