What are Legacy Grants?

Legacy Grants award up to $5,000 to Boston College students to support the development and execution of sustainable and innovative projects that help others. All undergraduate students are eligible to apply once a year during the Spring semester when the application process begins. These funds are made possible through previous Senior Class Gift donations together with the generosity of a University Trustee. Projects that are funded by Legacy Grants inspire change and exemplify the Jesuit ideal of men and women for others.

2024 applications are now closed
