Agency/Third Party Sponsorship

If all or part of your tuition should be billed to a sponsor, government or company, list the name of your sponsor, and deduct the amount your sponsor should be billed from the amount due. You must return a copy of your billing authorization and/or sponsorship letter with your invoice by the payment deadline. Third party sponsorship cannot be contingent on completion of courses or grades received. Once the billing authorization and/or sponsorship letter is received and if the dollar amount of the letter matches the amount due on your account, your account will be settled and in good standing. Although your sponsor will be billed by Boston University directly, you will always receive an invoice for your own records. Please note that you are responsible each semester to include a copy of your billing authorization and/or sponsorship letter with each invoice.
