@mingmong0 i don t have the scholarship decision thing. did you send that bank statement in which you demonstrated 72k? my portal says that i still didn’t meet the requirements for financial assitance… and idk if that s the reason i didn’tget word on scholarships/ fin aid
I don’t have it either. I thought they would’ve at least mentioned that I didn’t get the Trustee scholarship. Is there a way to re appeal the decision?

On my financial aid letter, they said it was a “TENTATIVE” FA award…does anyone know what this means?
@yoyo77777777 BU does not give need based aid to internationals, only merit aid.
“What financial aid opportunities are available to international students?
Unfortunately, need-based financial aid is not available to international students, as consideration is limited to U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and eligible non-citizens. Limited opportunities for credit-based educational loans are available for certain international students. On the basis of merit, international students are considered for the Trustee Scholarship and Presidential Scholarship. Learn more.”

Thanks, @GMineral This process is so stressful and confusing! Congrats to your son as well!

@yoyo77777777 what TomSrOfBoston is saying is right. The scholarship that I got is the merit scholarship.
@yoyo77777777 I did and I still don’t have any info. I’m going to email them soon.
@mingmong0 i know it is. but i was asking if you sent in that bank statement, my portal mentions i haven t provided proper financial documentation. my question was if it had something to do with bot getting word on scholarships
@yoyo77777777 Yes I uploaded back statement via Common App at the time of applying
@mingmong0 where is the merit scholarship info located?

@mingmong0 : there is no “ my scholarship “ section
What does it mean to be accepted with a January start date instead of fall? Is it a housing issue? And followed with a 6 week summer session in London?
@immomtoone You have been accepted to CGS, the College of General Studies. It is not a housing issue. It cannot be changed.
