Financing Your Studies

For information on Student Loans please click here.

BU Law is committed to providing LL.M. students with the assistance they need to finance their education. LL.M. students may use a variety of resources to finance their educational expenses such as federal loans, outside scholarships, private loans, or tuition remission.

We provide scholarship assistance to students who demonstrate outstanding academic achievement through our LL.M. Scholars program.

The Law Financial Aid Office offers information and help to students applying for federal loans or private educational loans.

For further information or for assistance with the process of applying for financial aid, contact us at bulawaid@bu.edu or 617.353.3160.

Part-Time Students

Many financial aid resources are only available to students who are enrolled on at least a half-time basis, which is six credits for all BU Law programs. Please check the terms of any loan or other program before you apply.

Students who will be enrolled less than half-time (one or two courses) do have several options if they are looking for loan resources. Please contact the Law Financial Aid Office if you need help finding these lenders.
