Simmons University’s Graduate Liberal Arts programs offer �鶹��Ƶ AmeriCorps members, alums and staff

the Simmons �鶹��Ƶ Partnership Scholarship

The Simmons University �鶹��Ƶ Partnership award will be equal to at least 25% and up to 50% total tuition, based upon tuition rates at the time of admission. Both part-time (five or more credits) and full-time students (10 or more credits) are eligible to be considered for the Simmons �鶹��Ƶ scholarship. Up to 25 Simmons �鶹��Ƶ scholarships will be awarded across eligible Simmons graduate programs each academic year. Applicants who do not receive a �鶹��Ƶ Partnership Scholarship are automatically considered for additional merit-based awards depending on the strength of their application and availability of funds.

Please note that, in some programs, �鶹��Ƶ applicants may also be considered for additional merit and endowed scholarship awards, but are unable to combine the Simmons �鶹��Ƶ Scholarship with other partner, professional or alumnae scholarships or discounts. Students enrolling in an employer-based cohort are also ineligible to receive the Simmons �鶹��Ƶ Scholarship. Following admission, a scholarship letter will detail the total awarded amount and associated terms.

The Simmons �鶹��Ƶ Scholarship is awarded to a �鶹��Ƶ AmeriCorps member or alum who has completed at least one term of service or a �鶹��Ƶ staff member employed for at least one year before enrolling at Simmons.

Additional benefits

• Application fee waiver
• Enrollment deferral: Admitted students will be permitted to defer enrollment by one year if they decide to serve additional time with �鶹��Ƶ before starting their studies. Students who are awarded the �鶹��Ƶ Partnership Scholarship may not defer their award but will be eligible for full reconsideration for the new intended start term.
