Woods College of Advancing Studies Undergraduate Financial Aid
How Need-Based Financial Aid is Determined
Boston College is committed to our philosophy of making education affordable, equitable, and accessible. 我们认为，我们的作用是作为一个合作伙伴，补充通过财政援助程序确定的家庭可用的财政资源.
Financial need is computed using both a federal and institutional calculation. 从这两个公式计算出的捐款用于确定是否有资格获得财政援助资金. 电子游戏软件的机构财务需求公式是 tuition and fees less the calculated contribution. 电子游戏软件将通过助学金/奖学金的组合来满足100%的机构经济需求, loans, and work-study.

How to Apply for Financial Aid
Deadline for 2023–2024 Academic Year: Rolling
电子游戏软件使用联邦学生援助免费申请表(FAFSA)来确定您的联邦援助资格.
Boston College’s school code is 002128.
- Available online after October 1
- Allow 2 weeks for processing
- IRS数据检索工具是FAFSA的一个功能，它可以自动将国税局的纳税申报表数据直接转移到您的在线申请中. It is strongly encouraged that you use this feature if it is available to you. For more information, visit studentaid.gov/resources/irs-drt-text.
- Note: You will need an FSA ID to electronically sign your FAFSA or Renewal FAFSA. If you do not have or do not remember your FSA ID, visit studentaid.gov/fsa-id/sign-in/landing.
As a part of our file review process, 电子游戏软件要求所有财政援助申请者提交联邦纳税申报表的复印件. Tax information is required from students and both biological/adopted parents.
Submit the following:
- a signed copy of student's 2021 federal or foreign tax return, including all schedules and W-2 statements
- a signed copy of your parents' 2021 federal or foreign tax return, including all schedules and W-2 statements
- If your biological/adopted parents are divorced, separated, or unmarried living separately, a signed copy of your noncustodial parent's 2021 federal or foreign tax return, including all schedules and W-2 statements
If you or your parent(s) are not required to file tax returns, an Income Tax Non-filer Verification Form should be submitted. Forms may be found at gzu.euromedalex.net/financialaidforms.
- copies of 2021 U.S. federal business tax returns (1065, 1120, 1120S) with K-1s and all schedules
- A copy of the business tax return is required for each business owned
- If you, your parent(s), or your noncustodial parent own all or a portion of a farm, please submit the Business/Farm supplement (BFS)
- The BFS must be submitted for each farm owned.
- If a question does not apply, note “N/A” in the space provided. Questions left blank will delay the review of your file.
If your biological parents are divorced, separated, or unmarried living separately, 您必须通过CSS配置文件网站提交非监护父母的配置文件. Your noncustodial parent must complete every question on the Profile form.
- In addition to the Noncustodial Parent Profile, Boston College also requires the noncustodial parent signed copies of:
- 2021 federal or foreign tax return, including all schedules and W2
- 所有企业的2021年营业税申报表(1065、1120、1120S)(如果适用)
If the whereabouts of your noncustodial parent are unknown, or if there are extenuating circumstances regarding your situation, please complete the Noncustodial Parent Waiver Petition. 你的非监护父母拒绝提供信息或支持不构成弃权.
Do I need to submit parent information?
For federal aid purposes, a student is considered independent and will qualify for federal aid (Pell Grant, Direct Loans) based on that status if he/she is:
- 24 years old
- married
- serving on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces
- a veteran
- a parent with dependents
- an emancipated minor
- homeless
- assigned a legal guardian before the age of 18
For institutional aid purposes, all undergraduates at Boston College are considered dependent. 我们认识到有情有可原的情况下，学生可能认为他们是独立的，但不符合上述标准. We will only consider students independent in extreme circumstances. 学生应该向学生服务办公室提交一封申诉依赖状态的信. 上诉信应概述学生与父母的关系. We also require a letter from a third-party (counselor, teacher, social worker, or lawyer for example) in support of the claim.
Submit all required documents to gzu.euromedalex.net/finaidupload.
请注意，你的文件需要48-72小时才能添加到你的经济援助文件中.
请记得在您提交的所有文件的每一页上写上您指定的Eagle ID号码.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students who wish to be considered for financial aid must apply each year. To apply for financial aid as a Boston College student, there are several forms that must be completed:
- To apply for federal and/or state aid, you need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Federal aid includes Pell Grants, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, Direct Loans, both subsidized and unsubsidized, Nursing loans, and Work-Study. State aid varies by state. 一旦FAFSA完成，你可能会被联邦处理器选中进行一个程序 Verification, 这意味着您必须提供额外的要求来验证实际的税务数据. For more information, visit the Policies and Eligibility web page.
- By completing only the FAFSA, 电子游戏软件无法确定你是否有资格获得基于机构需求的助学金. 为了考虑所有机构的需求援助以及所有联邦和州的援助, you must complete the FAFSA and additional forms, if applicable to your situation.
You may check the status of your application at euromedalex.net/finaidapp.
If you did not file a tax return and deposit to Boston College, 在五月中旬的某个时候，我们会收到一份额外的表格，以核实您的纳税申报状况. You may also submit the student Income Tax Non-Filer Verification form.
电子游戏软件致力于满足你在本科期间的全部财务需求. However, your need may change from year to year. 你需要改变的情况可能包括父母或学生的收入或资产的增加或减少, family size, or number of family members attending college. Your financial aid award will change to reflect these changes in circumstances. 如果家庭的情况保持相对稳定多年的出席, the total financial aid received should not change significantly. 自助期望(联邦勤工俭学和联邦贷款金额)可能会随着年级的进步而改变.
我们鼓励所有学生寻求校外奖学金，以帮助支付他们的教育费用. To ensure the outside scholarship will benefit the student as much as possible, it is our policy to first replace the loan and work-study portion of the student’s BC financial aid package; however, 助学金资金总额(包括校外奖学金)不能超过学生证明的机构总需求. 如果收到的外部奖学金金额超过贷款和勤工俭学的金额, 然后减少学生的BC助学金资金，以满足他们证明的机构需求. 不劳而获的资金，如国家拨款，在财政援助计划中减少了BC省的拨款资金.
Sources for outside scholarships can include high schools, civic organizations, vocational rehabilitation programs, etc. Students can also visit fastweb.com for additional outside scholarship application information.
Reporting and Mailing Scholarships
联邦政府要求学生将从BC省以外的来源获得的任何奖学金或其他教育福利直接通知学生服务办公室. You should report this information on your financial aid application materials, as well as submit the outside scholarship award letter(s). 请确保所有外部奖学金信息都包括学生的姓名和Eagle ID号码.
Please send all outside scholarship award letters to:
Boston College Financial Aid Processing Center
PO Box 1482
Portsmouth, NH 03802
Please mail all outside scholarship check payments to:
Boston College
Office of Student Services
Lyons Hall, Room 103
140 Commonwealth Avenue
Chestnut Hill, MA 02467
你的奖学金、助学金和/或贷款将首先支付你的账单或直接费用. If your financial aid covers more than the charges on your bill, 可以要求退款，资金可以用于支付您的间接费用，如书籍，个人和旅行费用. If your total scholarships, grants, and/or loans are less than the total charges on your bill, 你的预期家庭捐款用于支付剩余的余额和所有的间接费用.
电子游戏软件的机构财务需求公式是 tuition and fees less the calculated contribution. For many students, 在联邦和州补助和贷款之后，没有剩余的资格获得机构补助资金.
食宿费用是根据提供给我们办公室的平均租金信息计算的. If your actual expenses are higher, you can submit a budget appeal to have your actual costs included in the COA. 请注意，增加你的COA并不一定会增加你获得机构资助的机会. It does provide increased limits for borrowing outside loan programs. For more information about the budget appeal process, please reach out to your financial aid counselor.
