  Types of Financial Aid  
Once you have submitted a financial aid application and have been admitted to Boston University, the Office of Financial Assistance will determine your need and, if you are eligible, develop a customized package including funds from those programs for which you qualify. In addition to awarding funds from Boston University, we also administer certain federal and state grant and loan programs and may include these funds as well. As a result, your financial aid package from Boston University may include one or a combination of University grants, federal or state grants, federally subsidized or unsubsidized loans, and/or on-campus student employment.

To learn how to apply for financial aid and how awards are determined, please visit the Office of Financial Assistance website.

Please note that although Boston University makes every effort to assist students with calculated need, we do not have the funds to meet the eligibility of all applicants for financial aid. There will be, of necessity, a number of students who are in need of financial aid and yet will not receive University funding. Those students with the strongest academic records are given priority for receiving available funds. We nevertheless encourage all applicants who anticipate the need for financial aid to file both the PROFILE and FAFSA.

The links on the right explain about the types of grants and loans that are available and some of the conditions that pertain to each.
