Paying for Grad School Yes, you can afford graduate school.
In fact, it’s one of the best investments you’ll ever
make in your career. You could stay in the job
market and climb the ladder one step at a time…or
you can leap over several rungs with the skills,
knowledge, and credentials you’ll earn with a master’s
degree from Wentworth. But if you’re concerned
about how to make the initial investment, we offer
a number of options.
Graduate Scholarships*
Good news. All full-time graduate applicants are automatically considered for a
Merit Scholarship. Part-time applicants may qualify for one of the following
scholarships.
Graduate Fellowships
Graduate Fellowships allow you to work approximately 10 hours a week at
Wentworth to earn additional funding over the academic year. The positions include
studio/lab fellows, research fellows, teaching fellows, and tutors. These fellowships are
not just a great way to help finance your education, they are an excellent opportunity
to enhance your resume.
Graduate fellowships are limited. You will be invited to apply if your program qualifies
and still has open positions available. Once awarded, the Graduate Fellowship position
is renewable for the length of the program, not to exceed two academic years,
provided you are a full-time student in good academic standing and meet the
minimum academic standards set by the program.
*Please note:
• Scholarships cannot be stacked. Students (including alumni) will only be awarded for one of the awards
in the suite even if they qualify for more than one. Scholarships and discounts cannot be combined.
