<p>Does Boston College generally grant merit-based financial aid, and does anyone know if this was included on Agora?</p>
<p>Boston College's financial aid policy is a need-based policy. They do however offer merit scholarships to students who excel academically (presidential scholarship). However, this scholarship is only given to about 15 people in the applicant pool, usually those with national awards to go along with their college app. You can find more about it by looking around the Boston College threads. Again, BC does not offer merit based financial aid unless you qualify for a presidential scholarship.</p>
<p>And those 15 people had to apply EA as well.</p>
