SANCTUARY STATUS
Bennington College is declared a sanctuary institution. Bennington will remain committed to the principles of non-discrimination, including equal protection under the law, regardless of national origin or citizenship. We support all members of our community regardless of their immigration status and will not assist Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the investigation of the immigration status of our students, staff, or faculty absent a direct court order.
In addition, Bennington College does not discriminate in admission on the basis of immigration status. We meet the full financial need of all admitted students. This means we provide institutional financial aid to make up for the federal aid that undocumented students are unable to apply for, such as Pell Grants.
