BU Scholarships- Advice Please?

Paying for College
1

I’m applying to Boston University and I am also applying for the Trustee Scholarship, which is a full tuition scholarship, and the Presidential Scholarship, which is a partial tuition.

I was wondering if anyone could offer me some advice. Should I apply to the Honors college at BU if I’m hoping to be considered for the Trustee or Presidential Scholarship? Would it impact my application negatively if I did not apply to Honors college, but applied for both scholarships? In other words, would admissions say, “Oh, she didn’t apply to the honors college so we can’t give her these scholarships.”

Or does it not really make a difference?

Thanks!

I’m curious about that also, as my daughter is applying for the scholarships. I don’t know if it is an answer, but we know a girl who got the Trustee Scholarship… she happens to also be in the Honors College, but told us that there are kids who have the scholarship who are not in the Honors College (chose not to apply to it). Good Luck.

@jbeansmom I have heard that from people as well. Thank you and good luck to your daughter as well!
