Boston University's Community Leaders Scholarship guarantees that any Boston Public Schools graduate admitted to BU as a first-year or transfer student will have their full demonstrated financial need met with grants, with no loans in the aid package -- exactly as BU's own financial aid page states it: "Graduates of Boston public high schools who gain admission to BU...have their full demonstrated financial need met without loans through the BU Community Leaders Scholarship program." There is no separate scholarship application or nomination -- a Boston Public Schools diploma plus admission to BU is what triggers the award, so students simply apply to BU through its regular undergraduate admission process and file the CSS Profile/FAFSA by the same deadline.
