The Isenberg School of Management at the University of Massachusetts Amherst reminds Ware students that they are eligible for the Charles P. McQuaid scholarship, which will cover approximately 70% of in-state tuition and fees. One new scholarship is awarded yearly for incoming students from Ware High School and its surrounding communities.

McQuaid, a 1974 graduate and a Ware native, funds the endowed scholarship in order to provide students with opportunities similar to those that he had.

The four-year, renewable scholarship will be awarded to a qualified student from Ware High School. If a suitable applicant is not identified from Ware High School, students who reside in the Massachusetts towns of Belchertown, Hardwick, Palmer, Warren and West Brookfield will then be considered. Once initially awarded, scholarships will continue as long as students maintain a 3.5 GPA and remain enrolled in the Isenberg School throughout their fourth year as undergraduates.

The Isenberg School of Management is ranked as one of the top public undergraduate business programs in the Northeast by U.S. News & World Report 2020. Students can apply to the Isenberg School at umass.edu/admissions. The Early Action Application Deadline is November 5, 2020, and the Regular Decision Application Deadline is January 15, 2020. Accepted candidates from Ware and surrounding communities will be automatically considered for the scholarship.
