Boston College. . . .

U.S. News and World Report ranks Boston College 34th among national universities.

Boston College confers more than 4,000 degrees annually in more than 50 fields of study through nine schools and colleges. Faculty members are committed to both teaching and research and have set new marks for research grant awards over the last ten years, more than $45 million in the last year alone.

Most forms of assistance at Boston College, whether institutional, federal, or state, are awarded on the basis of financial need. Need is defined as the difference between the total expenses of attending Boston College and the calculated ability of th e family to contribute towards those expenses. Students with the greatest financial need are given preference for most financial aid programs, and thus, tend to receive larger financial aid awards.

University of Oklahoma. . .

The Princeton Review ranks the University of Oklahoma (OU) among the best in the nation in terms of academic excellence and cost for students. Students in the College of Engineering are some of the most sought-after engineering graduates in the country. OU Engineering alumni includes more than 800 corporate executives, twelve former or active U.S. Generals, four former ambassadors and two astronauts. Meanwhile, the Price College of Business programs continually rank high in publications such as U.S. News and world report and The Princeton Review.

Even though OU’s tuition and fees remain near the bottom of the Big 12, OU’s Campaign for Scholarships has passed the $130 million mark, allowing the university to double new scholarships for students in just four years. New scholarships have been created for incoming students, while many OU students are already benefiting from the overwhelming success of this effort through Sooner Heritage scholarship awards. From the administration, faculty and staff to our generous alumni and friends, the entire OU family is dedicated to providing access to students who want to attend the University of Oklahoma.
