Financial Aid

Boston University offers a number of financial aid programs to help you pay for your graduate education. Although the benefits are immeasurable, business school is a venture that should be planned carefully and strategically. The long-term financial obligation of your graduate education requires budget planning. The School of Management encourages you to begin preparation far in advance of applying. Our purpose is to help you reach your educational goals by assisting and guiding you through your financial aid process. Along those lines, we have a dedicated counselor within the School who works closely with our graduate students on financial aid.

In addition to financial aid, Boston University School of Management offers a variety of merit scholarship programs for qualified full-time students. Applicants are notified of these opportunities in their initial offers of admission. A separate application for scholarship consideration is not needed, and the Admission Committee considers all admitted candidates for merit scholarship awards.

For the Fall 2008 entering class, 75 percent received scholarship assistance with the average award exceeding $19,000 per year. To see the merit based scholarship options, please visit: management.bu.edu/admissions/tuition/index.html

Location

Is this the world’s best college town? With 60 colleges and universities, we think so. Boston, during the academic year, hosts more than 100,000 students and all the businesses and entertainment that cater to them.

A World-Class Hub of Business and Entrepreneurial Resources

The city also boasts possibly more researchers and PhDs per capita than anywhere else on Earth. That means an unparalleled concentration of intellectual, business, entrepreneurial, and scientific organizations that seek and reward a constant inflow of fresh young minds with new energy and new ideas.

We take education seriously. Not to mention our cultural assets (architecture, art, museums, libraries, symphony), historical landmarks, restaurants and clubs, shopping, and our college and pro sports teams. The School itself is just two blocks away from the Fenway Park where the Red Sox play.

Boston is a fascinating, walkable city with an excellent public transit system. Yet nearby you will find ocean and lake beaches, mountains, and wilderness. Home to major financial institutions, the world’s premier hospitals, high tech, bioscience, and more, Boston's universities and local firms enrich each other.

When you attend Boston University School of Management, you get Boston, too. Use it to your advantage.
