Giving to the BAC

Your generosity plays a key role in all we do at the BAC! No matter how you choose to support the college, you are enhancing everything that ensures we are always providing a distinctive educational experience for all our students.

A gift to the BAC is an investment in our students and the future.

Student Scholarship Fund.

Support BAC Students Before June 30

Nearly 79% of BAC students rely on financial aid, and over half receive direct support from the Student Scholarship Fund. As we approach our June 30 fiscal year-end, we aim to raise $100,000 to help ensure every student can stay enrolled and thrive.

Our students face real challenges—from financial hardship to housing instability—but remain committed to creating change through design. Your gift to the Student Scholarship Fund goes directly to supporting them when they need it most.

Thank you for investing in their future—and the future of design.

The Campaign for the Campus is transforming our historic spaces and advancing a bold, inclusive model of design education—one rooted in access, innovation, and real-world impact.
Phase I includes:

  • Restoring 951 Boylston, an important landmark and learning hub.
  • Completing a geothermal system to cut emissions and model sustainable design.
  • Expanding opportunity for the next generation of designers by reducing operating costs to keep education affordable.

This is more than a building project. It’s our moment to lead and shape the future of design.

For James A. Barrett, AIA, B.Arch’87, supporting learners in their journeys is a passion that runs deep, overflowing from his workday and into his free time. The BAC’s Pre-College Access Fund will enable young adults to access collegiate-level studies that would otherwise not be available to them. The purpose lies close to Jim’s heart.
