Financial Aid Office

The Law Financial Aid Office provides information and assistance regarding scholarship aid, federal and private loans, debt management and budgeting. We act as a liaison for students between other offices within the University, such as Student Account Services and the central Office of Financial Assistance.

The Law Financial Aid Office hosts presentations throughout the year on topics such as Budgeting, Credit Reports, Financing a Public Interest Career, and Life After Law School. Consult our calendar for up to date information, and let us know of any topics you would like to learn more about..

Commonly used forms and links may be found on the following page.

We are available by phone or for walk-in's Monday through Friday from 9:00am to 5:00pm. We have an open door policy and students are not required to make appointments. Please feel free to contact us any time via phone or e-mail.

The Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy for all Boston University School of Law financial aid recipients in the Juris Doctor (JD) program may be found here.
