Tuition money? Boston College?

Question

i am a junior in high school but i am wondering if i have to pay the whole $33,000 tuition fee at once for my freshman year at BC.

**what;s the difference between a university and a college?

Answer 1

Most colleges have several options to pay for the tuition which are by the semester, over 10 months, or some other option decided upon by the college. You have selected the perfect time to go scholarship searching because scholarship deadlines happen throughout the year. A college typically goes up to a bachelors degree while the universities offer both undergraduate and graduate degrees. I will include some free resources to locate money to attend college.

First, the college's financial aid office and website has a list of private scholarships offered from outside organizations and companies. Sometimes a college major's website will list scholarships, too.

Second, the public library has a book listing scholarships with some not even listed on the web.

Third, the high school guidance office has a list of local scholarships and state scholarships & grants.

Fourth, a campus work study job can help with money needed during the school year. The program is funded by the federal government. It will be a job on campus and most times can work to your availability schedule. There should be a box on the FAFSA form for it.

Fifth, fill out the FAFSA form after January 1 of your senior year of high school. It will qualify her for need based financial aid from the federal government and the school itself. It will come in the form of scholarships, Pell Grant, student loans, and the work study program.

Sixth, study and practice for the SAT or ACT tests. It can help bring merit scholarships from the college itself.

Seventh, states do offer grant and scholarships for students with excellent grades. Search Google.com and Yahoo.com for these grants and scholarships with your state's name.

Finally, I recommend joining several free membership scholarship search websites. There are scholarships for a variety of things including ethnicity, clubs, hobbies, and even wearing duct tape to the high school prom. Most are updated on a regular basis. Most offer a customized search based on information entered onto a form on the website.

Good luck!

Answer 3

First of, congrats on getting into BC. Great school *Alum* cough *Alum*.

You should contact the office of financial aid in Gasson Hall. They will be able to walk you through your payment options. I assume you have filled out the appropriate FAFSA and grant/loan forms? Generally, if you are taking out loans, you wont have to start paying them back until you graduate. And then it will be in increments.

Definitely have BC hook you up with some financial counseling.

Enjoy your time there. GO EAGLES
