Boston College Financial Aid
Financial Aid
Boston College offers a variety of assistance programs to help students finance their education. The Office of Student Services administers federal financial aid programs that include Federal Stafford Loans, Federal Perkins Loans, and Federal Work-Study as well as need-based institutional undergraduate grant and undergraduate scholarship programs, and undergraduate state scholarship and loan programs.
Financial aid application materials generally become available in the Office of Student Services (Lyons Hall) each December for the following academic year. Students wishing to be considered for assistance from federal, state, or institutional sources must complete all required forms.
Most forms of assistance at Boston College, whether institutional, federal, or state, are awarded on the basis of financial need. Need is defined as the difference between the total expenses of attending Boston College and the calculated ability of th e family to contribute towards those expenses. Students with the greatest financial need are given preference for most financial aid programs, and thus, tend to receive larger financial aid awards.
