Boston University Trustee Scholarship

The Trustee Scholarship at Boston University is the university’s most prestigious merit-based award for incoming undergraduates. Each year, approximately 20 exceptional students—selected from across the globe—receive full tuition and mandatory fee coverage for up to four years, provided they maintain strong academic standing.

Opportunities:

• Study at BU, a leading global research university within a dynamic academic community.

• Join a close-knit community of Trustee Scholars who share intellectual, social, and cultural experiences, such as faculty receptions and curated cultural outings around Boston.

Benefits:

• Full coverage of undergraduate tuition and mandatory student fees, renewable for four years subject to performance and conduct standards.

• No separate scholarship application—just submit your Common Application to BU by December 1, including the Trustee Scholarship essay.

Why It Matters:
More than financial aid, the Trustee Scholarship is a gateway to a rich and vibrant academic life. It empowers students to fully engage in their studies and campus culture without financial barriers, fostering growth into future leaders and innovators.
