Aid PROFILE online with CSS six weeks before the financial
aid deadline. For detailed information, please refer to
the Boston University publication "Investing in Your Education"
or the Office
of Financial Assistance website. Please note that
financial assistance from Boston University is not available
to international students. For general information about
financial assistance, international students may request
the booklet "Financial Planning for Study in the
United States" from the U.S. Information Agency or
binational advising center in their home country. |
