Fall 2021 Loan Awarding & Reductions
If you have not borrowed up to the cost of attendance and planned on requesting additional federal financial aid to be awarded as a fall only loan, please contact our office by November 30th with your request. On the other hand, if you have borrowed more loan funds than you need and would like to return funds to your lender, please contact us as well to advise us of the changes you wish to see on your account. In both instances, please email your request from your BU email account to osfs-gms@bu.edu and include your BU ID number.
