The annual Boston College Pops on the Heights: the Barbara and Jim Cleary Scholarship Gala is a celebrated tradition at BC.
Featuring a spectacular line-up of performances and so much more, Pops on the Heights embodies the shared sense of purpose that defines scholarship support at Boston College and shapes the future of hundreds of Eagles each year. Since 1993, Pops on the Heights has raised more than $145 million for financial aid, helping more than 3,700 students pursue their dream of a BC education.
Thanks to the generosity of so many, Boston College remains need-blind in admissions and able to meet the full demonstrated need of undergraduate applicants—promising Eagles who want to use their talents in the service of others.
Join us for Pops on the Heights 2024!

The Cleary Legacy
Deeply passionate about philanthropy, higher education, and the arts, the late Barbara and James F. Cleary ’50, H’93, founded the annual Pops on the Heights BC scholarship gala in 1993. Jim—a BC Trustee and founder of the Fides and President’s Circle annual giving societies—and Barbara worked tirelessly to help grow the event to become the University’s largest annual fundraiser, which has raised more than $145 million in Pops scholarships. Today, Jim and Barbara’s children (Kara ’84, MA’91; Kristin ’89, JD’93; and James Jr., P’18) continue their legacy as Pops benefactors.
