Any currently enrolled student is welcome to submit a general scholarship application.
While you are able to apply at any point, students are most often considered after earning a minimum of 12 credits at UMass Boston.
The majority of continuing student scholarship recipients have a minimum cumulative GPA of a 3.0 and a minimum of 24 credits from UMass Boston.
STEP ONE: Log In above to complete your general application. The requirements include a series of questions, a two-page essay, and an optional letter of recommendation.
STEP TWO: After completing the general application, you can apply for additional scholarship opportunities. First complete the supplemental question form. Some scholarships will only be open to students in certain majors, with certain cumulative GPAs, or a number of other factors.
Each scholarship opportunity has its own individual criteria and guidelines. Our scholarship opportunities are highly sought after, and funding is limited.
You will be contacted at your UMass Boston email address if you are a scholarship recipient.
Award recipients are most commonly notified approximately four to six weeks after the scholarship application deadline. At any time, you are welcome to contact the Office of Merit Scholarships to check the status of a specific scholarship process.
