Financial Aid

Financial aid is available for the High School Honors Program. Awards cover partial tuition and fees and are based on both financial need and academic merit. Commuter students enrolled in only one course and international students are not eligible for financial aid. If you would like to be considered for financial assistance, please enclose the following with your application:

  • Pages 1 and 2 of your parents' 2012 Federal Income Tax Form. Please make sure to block out all social security numbers and fax or mail the form to our office.
  • A letter describing your general financial situation and the particular circumstances that prevent you from paying the full tuition and fees.

Financial aid applications are due on April 19, 2013. Admission decisions are made without regard to financial aid consideration.

Methods of Payment

  • If paying by credit card, please go to Make a Payment. You will need your Boston University ID number. Once you have submitted your Letter of Intent and Registration Form to our office, you should contact us to receive your BU ID number.
  • If you choose to pay by check, please make the check payable to Boston University. Please write the student's name, BU ID number, and 'HSH' in the memo line.
  • If wiring money from a foreign bank, please contact us for more information.

Note: Application fees are non-refundable. No refund or reduction in tuition, registration, or program fees will be made for a student who arrives to the program late, leaves the program early, or is dismissed from the program due to violation of the program guidelines.
