<p>To workplayhard (Post #146): ALL of BC’s financial aid is need-based. There is no merit aid (what you call "need blind aid) other than the 15 - 20 Presidential Scholars.</p>
<p>I’m entering my Username and i’ve tried both my password and my financial aid password and its not working. I’ve entered both in numerous case combinations. Any suggestions about what could be wrong.</p>
<p>lilcoons1995-I’m in the same situation, I can’t log onto my agora account no matter how hard I try. Not sure what’s wrong, will let you know if I figure it out.</p>
