BU Supports 2022 Boston Public Schools Graduates
“Our mom didn’t go to college, our grandparents didn’t, so you know it’s kind of a big thing to be able to go,” says Catherine Hayes-Tierney (CGS’24).
Earlier this month, this year’s Thomas M. Menino Scholars and Community Service Award students gathered for a photo with Robert A. Brown, BU president. Menino Scholars receive full-tuition merit scholarships to BU based on their academic record. They are also eligible for need-based aid for the cost of room and board. Over four years, this year’s 35 recipients will receive more than $9 million in scholarships.
71 Community Service Award recipients, meanwhile, receive their full calculated financial need, without loans, amounting to $15.8 million over four years. The recipients must also complete 25 hours of volunteer work each semester, starting with the spring 2023 semester.
