About the Scholarship

UMass Lowell awards international first-year students $8,000 to $20,000 a year, decided at admission with no separate application.

The page these sit on is tabbed for non-Massachusetts residents, which usually signals a domestic-only award. Here it does not: the university writes international applicants directly into the eligibility sentence, and its international aid page repeats it.

Treat the figure as a band rather than a tier table. The university describes this as a variety of scholarships whose type and amount depend on a comprehensive evaluation of each year's applicant pool.

What It Covers

Tuition

$8,000 to $20,000 a year. This is an umbrella covering several awards rather than a single one, and the university states the type and amount depend on a comprehensive evaluation of each year's applicant pool and that its scholarship programmes are subject to change.

Eligibility

Entry as a first-time first-year undergraduate. Renewal needs a cumulative grade average of at least 3.000 and full-time status, for a maximum of eight consecutive semesters. Graduate, online and professional studies programmes are excluded.

Eligible Countries

The university states it offers these scholarships to first-time first-year undergraduate out-of-state and international applicants of exceptional merit, and its international aid page confirms first-time first-year international applicants may be considered for merit scholarships.

All countries

How to Apply
