I'm planning to apply regular decision to Boston University and am wondering if they have a separate deadline for scholarship consideration. Do I need to submit anything extra by a different date to be considered?
Boston University (BU) does have separate deadlines for some scholarships. For the Trustee Scholarship, which is BU's most prestigious scholarship, you must submit the Trustee Scholarship essay by December 1, which is before the regular decision deadline. To be considered for the Trustee Scholarship, your application must be complete and submitted by this date. There are no additional steps for consideration for most other BU scholarships; if you apply by the regular decision deadline, you will be automatically considered. However, I encourage you to check the BU Financial Assistance website or contact their financial aid office directly for the most accurate and current information about scholarship deadlines and requirements.
