Financial awards for incoming students are available to ensure that the advantages of a Bard Academy education are as accessible as possible. The application process begins with a conversation. Please contact us as soon as possible. Working together with the online School and Student Services (SSS) financial aid system, we will determine eligibility for aid that best reflects your specific family circumstances.
