Writing the next chapter of Boston College history
Since its founding in 1863 and early days in Boston’s South End, Boston College has grown to become a major national university on four campuses and across nine schools. Every step of BC’s transformation has been aided by the visionaries and benefactors who saw the promise of where we stand now.
Following in the footsteps of those that helped build our University, BC proudly launches Soaring Higher: the Campaign for Boston College. This ambitious effort will help BC fulfill its potential as the greatest Jesuit, Catholic university in America. It will grant an unmatched formative experience to all students, and its legacy of impact on future generations called to serve others will live on “’til the echoes ring again.”
“Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
Isaiah 40:31
“Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

Through Soaring Higher, the University aims to bolster financial aid, sustaining BC’s need-blind commitment and ensuring that the Heights are attainable for all students with ability and promise.
