It is managements belief that such tax positions are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. Accordingly, no liability for uncertain tax positions has been reflected in these financial statements. Returns for tax years beginning with those filed for the year ended August 31, 2022 are open to examination.

To qualify for scholarship or grant aid, a student must be enrolled in a BAC program and demonstrate financial need. In order to assess a familys financial need, the BAC follows guidelines set up by the City of Boston HUDs median income chart. Families who have an adjusted gross income that falls below the 80% median income bracket qualify for financial aid. The BAC requires a copy of the latest 1040 Income Tax Form or equivalent information to verify income once per year. The BAC makes every effort to ensure that quality education is available to all students, regardless of income level, race, religion, disability, national or ethnic origin, age or gender. Estimate calculation (Part III, column b) During the fiscal years ended August 31, 2025, the Organization awarded scholarships in amounts significantly exceeding historical levels and, in certain instances, outside the parameters of the scholarship guidelines previously approved by the Board of Directors. Management and the Board are currently evaluating and enhancing the Organizations scholarship approval, documentation, and monitoring processes to strengthen compliance with established policies and governance practices.
