Your Financial Aid
Most financial aid, including scholarships, federal loans and private loans, will automatically be split in half for each semester. This is the default processing plan. If you need or prefer a different disbursement plan, please contact the LAW Financial Aid Office to determine if another option is available.
Student Health Insurance
You can waive the BU health insurance only if you have comparable health insurance of your own.
- SHIP for 2026-27 — $4,054
Health Insurance & Your Financial Aid
The amount for the health insurance is not included in the standard student budget because you can waive it. If you will keep the BU health insurance AND you need to request financial aid to cover the cost, you may request to include it in your budget.
Sports Pass
The Sports Pass can be waived. Check this page of the BU website for information on how to waive the Sports Pass. Usually, it can be waived online through the MyBU Student portal when this option is made available (usually in June – after charges have been applied to your student account). It is for tickets to home events, such as, ice hockey and basketball games – NOT a membership fee for FitRec.
