The Department of Education released the newly modified Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in December 2023, and Boston University students are worried about the changes and how it will effect their aid.
34% of Boston University undergraduates take out Federal Student Loans, according to an email from BU spokesperson Colin Riley, making the median debt after graduation is $23,750.
Students who qualify will receive emails with details about their aid package, with amounts of $500, $1,000 or $1,400 awarded depending on financial need — more than 9,000 students qualify for these “technology subsidy” funds to assist with additional costs of remote learning.
