If you are a high achiever, Boston University wants to help you accomplish everything you possibly can as a BU student. One of the ways we do this is through a variety of scholarships. Last year, Boston University awarded nearly $12.5 million in merit-based scholarships to entering freshmen. Most awards are for academic achievement, while others go to talented athletes, performers and artists. The competition is keen: typically, recipients rank in the top 10% of their graduating class, but achievements outside the classroom in schools and communities can also make a difference.
Trustee Scholarship
Our most prestigious merit-based scholarship recognizes truly outstanding high school seniors with a four-year award of full tuition and certain mandatory fees. Candidates must be nominated by their school principals or headmasters. All materials, including nomination letter and application for admission, must be received at Boston University by December
Presidential Scholarship
Students with exceptional academic records applying to Boston University are eligible for this $20,000 renewable, tuition scholarship. No additional essays or application forms are required. However, the award process is very competitive, and students must submit their application for admission by December 1.
