Undergraduate Financial Aid

Boston College remains committed to the practice of admitting students solely on the basis of the strength of their academic and personal accomplishments, and without regard to financial need. Boston College makes every effort to supplement family resources for students who require financial assistance. All Boston College grants and scholarships awarded by the Office of Student Services are awarded on the basis of institutional need.

Families of all income levels share common concerns and questions about affording higher education. The Student Services staff understands these concerns and is committed to helping families through the application and financing process.

Boston College is committed to providing funds to meet the full demonstrated institutional need of every student applying for financial aid.
