Student Financial Aid - A Commitment to Access

BC is one of a small number of universities that admit students on the merit of their applications, not on their ability to afford tuition, and that then meet 100 percent of their demonstrated need. This levels the playing field for so many worthy young men and women from all walks of life.

The University’s dual commitment—to need-blind admission and to meeting students’ full demonstrated need—is what makes BC academically competitive; fosters a rich, vibrant campus community; and increases the value of a BC degree for all alumni.

Philanthropic support for financial aid is the only way to sustain BC’s commitment to remaining need blind, and your support helps to ensure that the Heights is open to all accepted students. We are counting on you to Be a Beacon for these students.
