Zachary
When researching college tuition costs, Zachary was nervous when he saw the sticker price. His parents earn around $80,000 per year and he wasn’t sure how he was going to be able to pay for college. When Zach received his financial aid offer from BU, he was thrilled!
| Costs (2022-2023 academic year) | |
| Annual Cost of Attendance* | $82,760 |
| Expected Family Contribution | $9,500 |
| DEMONSTRATED FINANCIAL NEED | $73,260 |
| AID | |
| Boston University Scholarship | $67,700 |
| Federal Subsidized Loan | $3,500 |
| Federal Work-Study Award | $2,000 |
| TOTAL AID** | $73,200 |
| NET PRICE | $9,560 |
*Annual cost of attendance equals tuition, housing, meal plan, fees, and other related expenses.
**In addition to the $73,200 award which meets Zachary’s demonstrated need, he is eligible to borrow a $2,000 Federal Unsubsidized Loan to help offset his $9,500 expected family contribution.
