📢Bard has a new full-scholarship bachelor's degree for adults who are 25 and older and have had barriers to getting a college degree. Tuition, fees, and books are all covered by scholarships that do not have to be paid back.

The Bard Baccalaureate aims to enroll Hudson Valley adults who have lost work due to COVID, or who have had their college degree paths interrupted for a variety of reasons: the need to work, family obligations, student loan debt, structural racism or other forms of inequity. It is a good fit for people who have in the past found the college setting inhospitable--because it was too rigid, too bureaucratic, too far from home, etc. Bard College admits and supports undocumented students.‼️

✅Applications are due July 24th and classes start mid-August. Email [email protected], copied here, with any questions.

📢Bard tiene una nueva licenciatura completa para adultos mayores de 25 años y que han tenido barreras para obtener un título universitario. La matrícula, las tarifas y los libros están cubiertos por becas que no tienen que devolverse. El Bach Bachillerato tiene como objetivo inscribir a adultos de Hudson Valley que han perdido el trabajo debido a COVID, o que han interrumpido sus carreras universitarias por una variedad de razones: la necesidad de trabajar, las obligaciones familiares, la deuda de préstamos estudiantiles, el racismo estructural u otras formas de falta de equidad. Es una buena opción para las personas que en el pasado encontraron el entorno universitario inhóspito, porque era demasiado rígido, demasiado burocrático, demasiado lejos de casa, etc. Bard College admite y apoya a los estudiantes indocumentados. ‼️

✅Las solicitudes deben presentarse el 24 de Julio y las clases comienzan a mediados de Agosto. Correo electrónico [email protected], copiado aquí, con cualquier pregunta.
