Why Give to BC

When you invest in Boston College, you truly make a difference at the Heights and beyond. Your generosity expands access for future Eagles to obtain a BC education, advances interdisciplinary excellence in the classroom, fuels athletic victories on the field, and empowers students and faculty to positively impact local and global communities.

No matter what area you choose to support, you are furthering everything that makes BC an exceptional education to believe in.

BC Fund Gifts to the Boston College Fund make it possible for the University to meet new opportunities, be flexible in the face of the unexpected, and fulfill its mission of helping students reach their full potential. 

Flynn Fund One out of every 12 BC students is a student-athlete, and the entire University benefits from the spirit and camaraderie our teams bring to the Heights and our extended community. 

Financial Aid Seventy percent of BC students receive some form of financial aid. Gifts to the University's financial aid program provide essential funding for life-changing scholarships to students of all backgrounds. 

Schools The nine schools that make up Boston College are at the center of the BC student-experience and make a lasting impression on the meaningful work of BC Alumni.
