Affording a BUA Education
We recognize that the decision to enroll at Boston University Academy is a significant financial commitment and that families make sacrifices to afford their children the opportunity of a BUA education. These are some of the most common ways that BUA families are able to finance their investment.
Need-Based Financial Aid including grants for books and incidental expenses
Payment Plans (monthly, semi-annual, annual options)
2025-2026 Tuition and Fees: $60,966
Tuition and fees do not include incidental expenses, books, or lunch.
Cost Benefits and Financial Aid at BUA
Our financial aid program is designed to help make a BUA education accessible to qualified students who otherwise could not afford the cost of attendance. Financial aid is offered in the form of need-based grants, which do not need to be repaid. Where possible, the Financial Aid Committee does its best to meet 100% of a family’s demonstrated need.
| Recipients of need-based financial aid | 27% |
| Average financial aid award | $44,654 |
| Range of financial aid awards | $11,275-$60,716 |
