Massachusetts Gilbert Grant

The Massachusetts Gilbert Grant is funded by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and is offered by the University to Massachusetts residents who meet financial need and other eligibility criteria established by the Commonwealth.


Massachusetts Part-Time Grant

The Massachusetts Part-Time Grant is funded by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and awarded by Boston University to Massachusetts residents who enroll on a part-time basis and who meet financial need and other eligibility criteria established by the Commonwealth.


State Scholarships and Grants

These awards are provided by your state of residence. Amounts indicated on an initial Financial Aid Award notification are estimated on the basis of information on the FAFSA and PROFILE. You must meet enrollment, financial need, and any other criteria established by your state of legal residence.

If you do not apply for and thus do not receive state grant funds for which you are otherwise eligible, they will not be replaced with Boston University funds.

Most states provide grant programs for eligible residents. However, many states do not allow their awards to be used at colleges and universities outside their state. Listed below are states that allow their grants to be used at Boston University:
