BU offers a wide range of merit scholarships, some including full-time scholarships, to recognize high-profile students who are above and beyond. Most awards are for academic achievement, while others are for talented athletes, performers, and artists. In addition, merit-based awards do not require you to submit a request for financial assistance and do not have to be repaid. U.S. nationals, permanent residents, and eligible non-citizens are considered for both merit awards and other scholarships, and overseas students are considered for trustee and Presidential scholarships only.
