UMass Amherst university and College of Humanities and Fine Arts scholarships

UMass students can set up an account at AcademicWorks and then get a list of scholarship and funding opportunities they may be eligible for. There are fall, spring, and summer award cycles. Deadlines may vary from year to year (check AcademicWorks!), but as an example, for the 2024-2025 academic year:

  • Fall awards cycle: closes November 15, 2024 so reviews can take place and scholarship awards made in time to apply to spring semester bills.
  • Spring awards cycle: closes March 3, 2025. Scholarships will apply to fall bills, unless the department chooses to apply to the spring.
  • Summer awards cycle: closes April 15, 2025 and includes special awards, internships, undergraduate research, and Oxford Summer Seminar.
