Scholarships For MassBay Students

Below is a list of scholarships available at MassBay. This list is subject to change by semester, based on available funding. The criterion for each scholarship varies by GPA, enrolled credits, declared major, if the student is new or returning, etc. Log in to our scholarship system, Academic Works, and click the Opportunities tab to see the full list of scholarships available for a current semester and the specific criteria for each scholarship.

MassBay awards Merit Scholarships to students each semester. Students qualifying for these scholarships will be contacted by the MassBay Foundation Office at the end of each semester.

Most Improved Scholarship

This scholarship was established to support students who improved their grade point average from the previous semester. A $500 scholarship is awarded for the fall and for the spring semester for up to ten (10) students each semester.

Family Educational Rights & privacy act (ferpa)

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords certain rights to students concerning the privacy of, and access to, their education records.

Student Health Insurance (waivable)

Student Health Insurance is mandatory. Massachusetts State Law requires health insurance for all students carrying nine (9) or more credit hours. Charges may be waived online if the student is covered by a comparable policy. The annual coverage is for the period beginning September 1st through August 31st. The Spring coverage is for the period January 1st through August 31st. Health insurance is not charged during the summer sessions. Payment for student health insurance must be fully paid prior to enrollment in the coverage.

MassBay offers dual enrollment courses to Massachusetts students looking to earn both high school and college credit, explore new subjects & build new skills.

All job search letters serve as an example of your written communication skills, your understanding of professional business etiquette, and your enthusiasm and qualifications for a particular job. Also, they provide additional opportunities for you to make a positive impression on a prospective employer. Take the time to draft them and make revisions; they must be free from spelling and grammatical errors. Well-written, strategically timed letters can impact a successful job search outcome – they’re that important!
