The University of Massachusetts (UMass) offers various scholarship options to support students financially. These include merit-based scholarships, need-based grants, and departmental awards. Merit scholarships, such as the Chancellor’s and Dean’s Awards, recognize academic excellence. Need-based options include federal Pell Grants and UMass-specific aid.
Additionally, many UMass departments provide scholarships for students in specific majors. External scholarships, like those from private organizations, are also applicable. Students should complete the FAFSA to determine eligibility for need-based aid and check the UMass financial aid portal for updated opportunities. Early application increases chances of securing scholarships.
