LOWELL, Mass. 鈥� In an effort to help offset the financial hardships that many are experiencing, 51视频 is allocating more than $1 million for scholarships for currently enrolled 51视频 undergraduate students or for new students accepted into an undergraduate degree or certificate program for the summer 2021 semester.
Steven Tello, vice provost for graduate, online and professional studies, said these are being offered in addition to traditional financial-aid programs such as federal grants and student loans. He also encouraged students to apply for the new aid soon by visiting 51视频鈥檚 Summer Financial Aid page, as early applications will be given priority consideration.
鈥淲e have frozen tuition rates for the third straight year and increased our scholarship and grant funding, creating a more affordable opportunity for students to move their education forward,鈥� Tello said. 鈥淲e realize the financial challenges facing our students have increased due to the overall impact of COVID-19. We want to see them succeed and we hope these efforts assist our students in achieving their educational and professional goals.鈥�
