SUN Scholarship Program
Tough economic times are impacting everyone. To assist students in meeting today's financial challenges, Professional & Continuing Education has introduced the SUN (Summer University Now) Scholarship. All UMass Dartmouth students who take eligible credit courses during the summer will receive a scholarship of $50 or more for each course. To be eligible, you must be a UMass Dartmouth undergraduate student, full-time or part-time – and matriculated in any one of our degree programs. Scholarships are on a per course basis, therefore the more courses you take, the more you will be awarded.
To obtain your scholarship award level, call the Enrollment Center at 508.999.9129 or 508.999.8857. The amount of each student's SUN Scholarship is determined by the Financial Aid Office and is based on family income level. Please read the Scholarship Exception Policy* below.
Success By Degree Scholarship Program
UMass Dartmouth's Professional and Continuing Education (PCE) will award qualified Massachusetts community college graduates (with a minimum GPA of 3.0) a scholarship equal to a 33% tuition waiver for each course taken to complete a bachelor's degree through PCE. Full-time or part-time PCE students are able to take on campus, online, blended, and weekend courses year-round during fall, winter, spring, and summer sessions. Read more...
UMD Teacher Transition Scholarship
Responding to local and regional budget cutbacks, Professional & Continuing Education has partnered with the School of Education, Public Policy and Civic Engagement in announcing a scholarship opportunity for recently laid-off K-12 teachers. This scholarship responds to the rising unemployment rate and layoffs in the K-12 teaching profession, providing laid-off teachers access to professional and educational opportunities during their transition.
Teachers are required to bring a copy of the letter notifying them of their change in teaching status at the time of registration each semester. The UMD Teacher Transition Scholarship can be applied to most PCE courses. Please read the Scholarship Exception Policy* below.
