| Boston University | | | Scholarships |  | | | Boston University believes that high-achieving students should be encouraged and recognized for their efforts and abilities. For this reason, the University is committed to offering a variety of scholarships to entering freshmen. Most of these merit awards are academic in nature, and some are awarded to talented athletes, performers, and artists.
There are several kinds of academic scholarships. Some are offered in specific areas of academic study. Some scholarships require that you be nominated by your high school; for others, you must apply directly. Students may be nominated or may apply for multiple scholarships at the same time.
For many scholarships you need not apply at all. The University selects additional scholarship recipients based on their superior academic records.
Most merit-based awards do not require an application for financial aid. However, we strongly encourage all students who believe they may require some amount of financial aid in addition to their merit award to complete the forms required for need-based aid. If you receive a merit award and have applied for need-based financial aid, you will be considered for any need-based financial aid for which you qualify beyond the amount of the merit award.
| Interested students applying to Boston University are encouraged to apply for the following schoalrships:
- Trustee Scholarship - Boston University's most prestigious scholarship recognizes outstanding academic performance and leadership ability.
- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Scholarship - acknowledges students who have embraced the ideals of Dr. King through academic accomplishment, leadership abilities, and a strong commitment to social justice and community involvement.
- Alexander Graham Bell Scholarship - recognizes students with strong math and science abilities who have the potential to thrive at BU's College of Engineering.
All applications, essays, and required forms are due by December 1, 2008. To learn more about the requirements of these scholarships and other merit awards offered by BU, please go to our website.
