The university will determine appropriate student awards and issue award letters identifying the financial aid offered, based on an individual’s application and eligibility. The university reserves the right to review and modify any award in response to changes in eligibility requirements or a student’s enrollment or financial status; unsatisfactory academic progress; limited governmental funding; or unforeseen events. The Financial Aid Office assists students in financing educational expenses, but the applicant is responsible for determining, prior to Registration, if personal resources and financial aid awards will be sufficient to meet expenses. Students failing to demonstrate financial responsibility may be denied registration or barred from further attendance during the semester.

Changes to Your Family’s Financial Situation

If you or your family’s financial situation has changed significantly from what is reflected on your federal income tax return (for example, if you’ve lost a job or otherwise experienced a drop in income), you may be eligible to have your financial aid adjusted. Complete the FAFSA questions as instructed on the application (including the transfer of tax return and income information), submit your FAFSA form, then email us at financial.aid@bua.edu and let us know how your current financial situation has changed.  

**Note that the school’s decision is final and cannot be appealed to the U.S. Department of Education.**
