波士顿大学匹配奖学金获得者不需要家长捐款或学生贷款来支付就读费用. However, all students are expected to hold a work study job on campus and a summer job each year, beginning with the summer prior to their first year, and use those earnings toward their college expenses (i.e. books, travel, personal expenses). You can view more details here.
Boston College adds a travel alowance to the estimate of the total cost of attendance. Students are expected to cover their own travel expenses using a combination of summer work expectation, savings, and/or work-study funds. Boston College will not reimburse or provide direct funds for travel to and from campus. Students are also able to take loan funds to assist with travel expenses.
Federal Work-Study is a type of self-help financial aid that is awarded based on financial need. Students may earn up to the amount awarded through their work-study position. 需要注意的是,勤工俭学工作所赚取的资金是直接支付给学生的,不会减少学生账户账单. Work-study positions are typically posted just before the start of the fall semester. Students can search the job database through the Student Services Student Employment web page at rmdu.piebroscafe.com/studentemployment.
The Gabelli Presidential Scholars Program is an academic merit-based scholarship program, covering full tuition for 18 qualified applicants each year. 没有单独的申请需要考虑-只要在11月1日优先奖学金截止日期之前提交完整的申请,早期决定和常规决定候选人都有资格获得奖学金. For non-finalists/non-participating finalists interested in being considered for the Gabelli Presidential Scholarship, you will be required to submit the Common Application.
All students are encouraged to seek out outside scholarships to help with the cost of their education. To ensure the outside scholarship will benefit the student as much as possible, it is our policy to first replace the loan, if applicable, and work-study portion of the student’s BC financial aid package; however, total grant funding (including outside scholarships) cannot exceed the student’s total demonstrated institutional need. If the amount of outside scholarship received exceeds the amount of loan and work-study, then the student’s BC grant funds are reduced to meet their demonstrated institutional need. Unearned funding such as state grants will reduce BC grant funds dollar-for-dollar within the financial aid package.
所有从电子游戏软件获得经济援助的学生——包括Match奖学金获得者——必须每年重新提交经济援助文件. Students are also expected to maintain satisfactory academic progress.
Boston College is dedicated to meeting the full demonstrated need of all United States citizens and eligible non-citizens that apply for financial aid.
