UMass Lowell Merit-Based Scholarships for International Undergraduates

About this scholarship

UMass Lowell Merit-Based Scholarships for International Undergraduates are new-student scholarships reviewed through the undergraduate admission process. The International Students and Scholars Office states that most UMass Lowell scholarship funding is in new-student merit-based scholarships and that eligibility is determined when a student is accepted for admission through matriculation. No separate scholarship application is required for these new-student merit awards; eligible students receive a letter about scholarship eligibility together with their acceptance. The amount is recorded as variable because the international scholarship page does not publish a fixed dollar amount or range for each admitted international undergraduate. The award is not listed as full funding, so students should expect to document sufficient resources for remaining tuition, fees, housing, meals, health insurance, books, travel, and personal expenses. International applicants use the UMass Lowell application, Common App, or Coalition/Scoir pathway and submit secondary or post-secondary records, WES evaluations for international transfer coursework, and English proficiency scores unless an exemption applies.
