First Year Merit Scholarship Programs
Simmons offers several academic scholarships for incoming first year undergraduate students. These awards are determined by the Office of Undergraduate Admission and are awarded upon review of the admission application. Merit scholarships are renewable for four years (eight semesters) of full-time undergraduate coursework pending successful academic progress.
Simmons Alumnae Scholarships
Simmons Alumnae scholarships are renewable scholarships provided for relatives (typically children, grandchildren, or siblings) of Simmons graduates. The relative must have already graduated from Simmons. A separate application is not required; however, applicants should identify alumnae/us in their admission application.
The Gilbert and Marcia Kotzen Scholars Program
The Kotzen Scholarship, a full tuition scholarship is the most prestigious merit scholarship that Simmons offers, and is awarded to approximately 10-15 students who have an exceptional record of academic excellence and leadership. Kotzen Scholars are eligible to receive an additional award of $3,000 to be used toward study abroad, short-term courses, summer internship tuition, or research support. A separate application is required. Application instructions may be found at www.simmons.edu/kotzen or through the Office of Undergraduate Admission.
The Boston Scholarship
Select graduates of Boston public high schools are chosen annually as Boston Scholars and receive full tuition scholarships. The scholarship is renewable as long as the student is enrolled full-time (12 credits per semester) and maintains a 3 .0 cumulative GPA. A separate application is required.
