From over $50,000 aid (net calculator) to...$18,000 (reality). Cool.

“If you are an incoming student, your application for a need-based BU grant award will be considered based on several factors. These include calculated financial eligibility, academic achievement, and the availability of funds for your program of study.”

Oh, BU.
