Being connected to a community that honors the best of its individuals while working together for the benefit of the whole has proven to be a necessity over the past year.
Honors College is only possible because we have always been such a community. We are made up of individuals whose ideas, knowledge, and curiosity are varied, yet vital and transformative when woven together in the pursuit of collective excellence and problem-solving. Please support and help grow our community through the gift of scholarship support during #UMassGives 2021.
Since 2016 we have been able to award at least two new four-year scholarships annually to high-need students as a result of the generosity of community members like you who choose to be part of UMass Gives!
Commonwealth Honors College Community Scholarships:
- Provide four-year scholarship support to Honors students with demonstrated financial need,
- Support first-year student accepted to UMass Amherst and Commonwealth Honors College entering this fall.
- Prioritize first-generation college students and students from underrepresented groups on campus
Join us in the excitement and make a difference! Be sure to share your reason for giving on social media using the hashtags #UMassGivesHonors and #WhyIGive.
Thank you!
