Financial aid
The financial aid program is designed to help make a BUA education accessible to qualified students who otherwise could not afford the cost of attendance, offered in the form of need-based grants that do not need to be repaid. The Financial Aid Committee does its best to meet 100% of a family’s demonstrated need.
