Federal Graduate PLUS Loan:

Available to U.S. citizens and U.S. permanent residents who qualify as creditworthy. The Graduate Federal Direct PLUS is a federal credit-based loan, which is available to assist students with the costs of higher education. The student borrower must pass the PLUS loan credit check review and cannot have an adverse credit history. This is a 2nd loan option in addition to the Direct Unsubsidized Loan.

Private Educational Loans:

Available to U.S. citizens, U.S. Permanent Residents, and international students with a U.S. co-borrower. U.S. citizens and Permanent Residents who qualify as creditworthy do not require co-borrowers. International students, however, must apply with a creditworthy U.S. citizen or U.S. Permanent Resident with a U.S based address, unless using a lender who does not require a co-signer. Please visit the Private Educational Loans page for more information.

Tuition Reimbursement:

Tuition reimbursement is a benefit where employees usually pay for their education first, and then the employer reimburses them for some or all of the cost after they’ve completed their course or program. Students whose companies have tuition reimbursement benefits will need to work with their employer’s Human Resources Department. For more information, please visit our Payment Plans & Employer Benefits page.

Tuition Remission:

The Tuition Remission Program is a valuable education benefit that grants regular full-time Boston University employees—and their families—access to a wide range of BU courses and degree programs. For additional information concerning the Tuition Remission Program, please contact BU Human Resources. For more information, please visit our Payment Plans & Employer Benefits page.

Outside Agency Sponsorship:

Outside Agency Sponsorship is where the student requests to bill all or part of their tuition to a sponsor, government, or company.

If the sponsorship billing is accepted, it will be applied to the student account as an anticipated payment, and the sponsor will be invoiced after the semester course adjustment date has passed. For more information, please visit our Outside Agency Sponsorship page.

Payment Plans:

Boston University partners with Nelnet QuikPAY® to allow students to split the cost of attendance into convenient monthly payments. For more information, please visit our Payment Plans & Employer Benefits page. Please visit BU Student Accounting Services for specific plan information for both full-time and part-time programs.
