QuestBridge, a national organization connecting low-income students to selective colleges, announced Barnard as one of its three new partner institutions earlier this week.
Columbia College and the School of Engineering and Applied Science are entering their 14th year as QuestBridge partner schools, making Barnard the third Columbia undergraduate college to become an institutional partner.
