Office of Student Financial Assistance

The Massachusetts High Demand Scholarship Program was created by the Massachusetts Legislature to support economic growth and development. The purpose is to encourage degree completion in high demand disciplines that will help address the workforce needs of the Commonwealth by providing scholarship assistance to support the educational costs of students pursuing such programs of study.

The 2020–2021 application for the Massachusetts High Demand Scholarship will be open to students at Massachusetts public institutions who are pursuing a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) degree. Funds will be awarded retroactively for the Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 semester. Visit the High Demand Scholarship Program page to learn more and apply!

The ECE Scholarship Program was established by the Massachusetts Legislature to increase the credentials and qualifications of the early education and care workforce. The scholarship assists early educators and after school/out-of-school-time professionals in pursuing undergraduate degrees at participating Massachusetts colleges and universities. Scholarship applicants may receive financial assistance up to 11 credits per semester in the fall, spring and summer (subject to funding availability).
