Graduate Financial Aid

Financing Your Graduate Education at the Pardee School

We understand that graduate education is a significant investment in yourself and professional career in terms of your time, energy, and money. As a Pardee School graduate student, you will be affiliated with the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences (GRS) at Boston University (BU). The Financial Aid office in GRS can be a resource for you in providing information so that you can explore your options and make an educated decision about the best way to finance your education.

Getting an on-campus job, such as a Graduate Assistantship with a Pardee School professor, is an ideal way to offset the cost of your graduate education and gain professional experience at the same time.


Undergraduate Financial Aid

Approximately $290 million in BU financial assistance is awarded to enrolled undergraduates each year.

Still, if you’ve never applied for financial aid before, the application process, forms, deadlines, and various types of aid might seem a bit daunting at first. Should you start feeling overwhelmed, remember that thousands of families apply successfully every year. BU’s Office of Financial Assistance has all the information and resources you need to get you on the right path.
