<p>My son received about $25K in need based grants for his freshman year but I know we have to reapply and be reconsidered each year based on financial need via the FAFSA and CSS profile. Anybody with experience in having these need based grants renewed year after year?I am thinking they will only be reduced and these are to “induce” a strong student to attend BU.</p>
<p>mine were never reduced, and I don’t think they usually are barring some extraordinary financial circumstances. mine actually went up after my brother began attending college my junior year. you should keep in mind, however, that tuition usually goes up and the grants sometimes don’t keep pace with that. I became an RA my junior and senior year to make up some of the difference.</p>
