Financial Aid

For domestic students, we do advise that you to borrow a federal UNSUB loan before reviewing private loan options.

A co-signer with a strong credit history will increase your chances of being approved for an alternative/supplemental loan. You are in no way limited to loans/lenders on our list of options. Boston University will process a loan from any lender, and it is your right to apply for loans through the lender of your choice. Private loan options can be found here.

Be sure to utilize the budget calculator below to estimate how much you may need to borrow for living costs.
