Please remember that purchasing a new suit for OCI is not required. Candidates may, for example, borrow suits from friends, family, or upper-level students. If you do choose to purchase a suit, review the latest OCI OnRamp module for information on student discounts and tips on interview attire.
Additionally, as you may have seen in today’s (6.10.19) Monday email, the Dean has generously made funding available to provide limited financial assistance to students with demonstrated financial need, who need to purchase interview attire. Specifically, up to 25 awards of $400 will be provided to members of the Class of 2021, as follows:
- Applications must be submitted via Symplicity by June 17th, at 5pm
- Application materials include a personal statement of no more than 250 words, outlining the student’s need for interview attire.
- Students’ financial need will be assessed based on information currently on file with the Financial Aid Office. Contact the Financial Aid Office (bulawaid@bu.edu) with questions or to provide any relevant updates.
- Students selected to receive the interview attire awards will be notified by email by June 24th. All confirmed award recipients will receive additional information following the initial notification.
- Students who have already received financial assistance from the Law School for interview attire may not receive these additional funds, and receipt of these funds will preclude receiving any additional financial assistance on this front for AY 2019-20.
