The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth offers various scholarship options to support students financially. Merit-based scholarships are awarded to incoming freshmen based on academic achievement, such as high GPA or standardized test scores. Transfer students may also qualify for merit awards.
Need-based scholarships require demonstrating financial need through the FAFSA. Examples include the Commonwealth Scholarship and the Dean’s Scholarship. Departmental scholarships are available for specific majors, often requiring additional applications.
External scholarships, like those from private organizations, can also be applied. Students should regularly check the university’s financial aid portal and departmental notices for updated opportunities.
