Financial Aid and Scholarships for International Students
International students do not receive need-based aid, but are eligible for merit scholarships. Students will be automatically reviewed for merit aid with submission of an application.
Please note that the cost of attendance at Simmons for traditional undergraduates for the 2026–27 school year is approximately $73,559 per year, before students are awarded a scholarship. First year international students are automatically considered for merit scholarships upon application; these scholarships range from $16,000 to 30,000 per year. Please note that merit scholarships do not cover the full cost of attendance, and there are extremely limited opportunities to receive a full scholarship at Simmons. We do not offer need based financial aid to international students.
Are Accelerated Programs considered scholarships?
No, our Accelerated Programs — including our 3+1 Masters in Public Policy, 3+1 Masters in Library Science, 3+1 Masters in Social Work, 3+1 Masters in Public Health, and 3+2 Engineering Dual Degrees — are not scholarships. While the accelerated timelines of these programs offer numerous financial benefits, students do not receive additional funding for these programs outside of our merit scholarships. If you have questions, reach out to your admissions counselor.
