Value: $6,500

The Massachusetts Legislature initiated the Massachusetts High Demand Scholarship Program to bolster economic progression and evolution. The scheme aims to incentivize the completion of degrees in high-demand fields, helping to meet the Commonwealth's workforce requirements by offering scholarships to offset the educational expenses of students enrolled in such study programs.

Applications for the 2025-2026 Massachusetts High Demand Scholarship will be accessible to students at both public and private institutions in Massachusetts who are working towards a degree in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math), Health Professions, Education, Social Work, Criminal Justice, Economics, or Business.
