SCHOLARSHIP AND GRANT FUNDING:
As an international theological center providing outstanding academic resources and an intimate community for its members, we want to help you finance your studies and make it possible for you to join us. Boston College School of Theology and Ministry (STM) offers generous funding through several types of financial assistance. When you complete and return the STM Financial Aid Application, you are automatically considered for all financial assistance for which you may be eligible.
Tuition scholarships are based on considerations of academic achievement, potential for ministry, demonstrated leadership, and financial need. Funding is generally renewable at the same level in years following the student’s initial award year, assuming the student’s need and academic standing do not change markedly. Prospective students are encouraged to contact the Assistant Dean for Admissions and Financial Aid for questions regarding the funding of your studies.

FEDERAL STUDENT LOANS:
In addition to scholarship and grant funding, the University participates in the Federal Stafford Program. Students can borrow up to the total cost of attendance, minus any funding they are receiving from the STM through the Stafford Loan Program. To apply for the Stafford loan, you will need to submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and also complete and submit the Boston College Graduate Financial Aid Application/Validation. Information and forms are available through the Boston College Office of Student Services located in Lyons Hall. Go to http://www.bc.edu/offices/stserv/financial/finaid/grad/begin.html or call 617.552.3300 for more information. Please note that Federal Stafford loans are only available for U.S. citizens and residents. Please note that Federal Loans are not available to S.T.L. or S.T.D. degree seeking students.
Notification of your funding will occur after a decision is made regarding your admission into the STM.
Please note that if you receive a scholarship after you receive your loan package, your loan package may have to be adjusted. Federal regulations limit the total amount of aid (including students loans) a student can receive. Contact the Boston College Office of Student Services if you have any questions about federal loans.
