Financial Aid Appeal Success Stories

Colleges and Universities A-Z Boston College

<p>To anyone who goes to BC and appealed their financial aid package, what was the result? My FA award came out to lower than I expected as a Class of 2018 admit and I’d be paying way more out of pocket than for any other school. As it stands, I’m not sure if BC is a financially viable option for me.</p>

<p>If you successfully appealed your FA award, how did you go about doing it? How much more was offered to you? Should I send an e-mail, mail a letter, or make a phone call? What did you include in your letter or mention in your phone call?</p>

<p>Any insight on the matter is appreciated.</p>

<p>askiii:
I encourage you to read through past years’ Boston College CC threads for discussions on this topic. You’ll find many who went through it. Some were able to negotiate more money, while others ended up having to decline BC because they couldn’t get their FA increased. Good luck.</p>

<p>Unfortunately every year is different. So while you can go back through old CC threads, you just need to contact your specific Financial Aid Officer assigned to your last name and pose the question. </p>
