Application to Borrow Additional Loan Funds
If you are eligible for financial assistance your financial aid package may only cover tuition and fees. The amounts you can borrow depend on your grade level in school here at the BAC and on the type of student you are: dependent undergraduate, independent undergraduate (or a dependent undergraduate whose parents are unable to get a PLUS Loan), or a graduate student.
Should you be interested, there are a couple of ways you can increase your Federal Loans: you can fill out the above form, or you can manually adjust your award letter. To do this, simply cross off the amount awarded and write in the new amount you would like to borrow. Please be sure to sign the award letter. You may also send us an e-mail at: finaid@the-bac.edu, or fax us your request at: (617) 585-0131.
