We will revolutionize access to higher education.
Revolutionizing access means giving each student opportunity and support, equipping them to navigate abundant career options when they graduate, and watching the incredible return on that investment of time and talent. Access underpins the entire UMass experience.
Excellence is only possible through access
Access is more than admission. UMass Amherst is committed to reducing the obstacles that prevent students from making the most of learning opportunities. Your support ensures every individual is able to rise as far as their ambition will take them.

The Gift of Opportunity
Students from middle- and low-income families have more financial need than UMass Amherst can meet. When donors support scholarships across the university they open doors to meaningful experiences for the leaders of tomorrow.
“Financial aid has empowered me to make the most of my college experience, from excelling academically to gaining real-world experience through internships.”
