The Office of Financial Assistance serves Boston University’s undergraduate student population. Information about graduate financial aid is available from the Graduate Schools and Colleges.

International students should be aware of the limitations on financial aid that apply to them.

Please include your full name and Boston University student ID number in all communication.

E-mail: finaid@bu.edu
In most cases, you will receive a response to an e-mail within one business day.

Telephone: 617-353-2965 (Monday–Friday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. Eastern Time)
