File your FAFSA, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
This year (2024-2025 academic year) it will be easier for families to complete the FAFSA with the streamlined FAFSA application. The new FAFSA form is now available. UMassD anticipates sending award letters in late spring.
Each year, we award more than $1M in aid to students to help fund their UMassD education through both need- and merit-based scholarships. With scholarships ranging from general to specialized interests, and UMassD Foundation and UMass Presidential Scholarships, you’ll be able to find one that fits you.
Finding and applying for scholarships is easy in the Corsair Scholarship Portal.
Demonstrated financial need is determined by a completed FAFSA. Submit your FAFSA using our school code (002210) by March 1 to be considered. If you are ineligible to complete a FAFSA, you will not qualify for scholarships based on financial need.
Submitted your FAFSA after March 1? You’ll still be eligible for merit-based awards, which are determined by the requirements of each individual scholarship.
Use the search scholarships option to review scholarships, eligibility requirements, and deadlines. Check back throughout the year to discover newly added scholarships.
Tip: Use the category search filter button to find scholarships you’re eligible for based on factors including your college and year of graduation. Only use one filter at a time to avoid narrowing your search too much.
New students entering UMassD this fall: Use the entering freshman and entering transfer filters to find scholarships specifically for incoming first-year and transfer students. When applying, you’ll be able to attach a transcript from your high school and/or transferring college/university to provide your GPA.
Once you’re ready to apply, log in using your UMassD username and password.
New students: You will receive your UMassD login after you make your deposit.
