The Gabelli Presidential Scholars Program is a merit scholarship that covers full tuition at BC, regardless of financial need, and therefore does not require any financial aid forms to be submitted.
To apply to be a Boston College Presidential Scholar you must apply by the priority scholarship deadline of November 1. No separate application is required and you may apply as an Early Decision I, Early Decision II or as a Regular Decision applicant. All applicants who apply by the deadline are automatically considered for the Scholarship. Visit the Boston College Admission page for deadlines and information about applying to Boston College.
There is no minimum GPA or SAT score requirement. However, we are looking for students with outstanding academic records, who hold leadership roles in their school and who are committed to and have a demonstrated interest in community service. Typically, the students selected are in the top 1-2 percent of the national pool of freshman applicants.
Letters of invitation will be sent out to finalists along with an official offer of admission to BC by February 1. Finalists visit Boston College (at the University’s expense) in mid-March to learn more about the University, the Gabelli Presidential Scholars Program, and the city of Boston. During their visit, candidates are interviewed by faculty and administrative staff; and they participate in other evaluative experiences which all serve as the basis for the final choice of Presidential Scholars, who will be notified shortly thereafter.
There is no separate application for this scholarship, but please note that only candidates for fall admission will be considered.
