<p>The Boston High School Scholarship is, if I’m thinking of the right thing, a special deal BU offers to Boston city kids, basically a free ride. I saw an article that says BU’s spent something like $119M on this over the years. There’s also something for parochial school kids from the area.</p>
<p>I think grants tend to be something like $10k and they’re usually offered if the applicant doesn’t qualify for financial aid. I don’t know how common they are.</p>
