指导原则和政策

• While 波士顿大学学院 has a commitment to making its education available to all students, our limited financial aid resources mean that families have the final responsibility for meeting educational costs. In its commitment to assisting families who express financial need, the school expects that families will contribute to their child’s education to the extent to which they are able, 经财政援助委员会评估. All families will be asked to pay some amount toward tuition.
• 波士顿大学学院’s financial aid awards primarily cover the cost of tuition. Some families will also receive grants that are intended to help defray the cost of other school-related 费用 (including but not limited to books, 午餐, 和学校旅行).
• Financial aid is only available to students who hold US citizenship or who have permanent resident status. A student with an I-1551, I-1551c, I-94, or T-visa is an eligible non-citizen.
• 离婚或分居的情况下, both natural parents are required to apply for financial aid by submitting a PFS. bbin娱乐平台 considers the resources of all parents and guardians involved when determining awards.
• If additional information regarding a family’s financial circumstances becomes known, bbin娱乐平台 reserves the right to adjust the initial award granted to the family.
• 家庭 are required to re-apply for financial aid every year in which they are enrolled at the school. Awards may be adjusted based on changes in family circumstances; however, 家庭可以 assume that their funding will be renewed at a similar level in subsequent years if there are no significant changes to their financial status.
• 家庭 re-enrolling at the school who have not previously received financial aid must submit tax information for the previous three years as well as a letter detailing the change in family circumstances for the coming year.
