Institutional Scholarships

For Graduate Students

William James College offers  merit-based scholarships. All William James applicants will be considered for a merit-based scholarship by the Admissions Committee based upon your application materials and your admissions interview. You will be notified of any merit-based scholarships on your offer of admission.

Scholarships are renewable each year (up to four years maximum) provided that you remain in good academic and financial standing and continue to make Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP).

A student is eligible to receive one scholarship. If a student qualifies for two scholarships, the larger amount is awarded lieu of both scholarships.
