Financial Support for Out-of-State Students

Did you know that the cost of attending BSU is nearly the same as — or in some cases, less than — the cost of attending college in your own state?

Your cost will rival the cost of attending a public university near you after applying financial aid, the $5,000 per year Horace Mann Scholarship or the New England Regional Discount Program.
