Dive Back Into Simmons!
Simmons is proud to offer the Double Shark Scholarship - our way of celebrating alumnae/i who choose to continue their academic journey with us!
If you hold a Simmons bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree and enroll in an eligible graduate degree or certificate program, you'll automatically receive the Double Shark Scholarship — no separate scholarship application is required. Upon admission, you'll receive a scholarship letter outlining your tuition savings of up to 20% when you return to Simmons for your next degree.

Please note: The Double Shark will be awarded at the time of admission. The award cannot be applied retroactively and may not be combined with other scholarship offers including, but not limited to, other institutional scholarships or awards associated with Simmons assistantships, fellowships, partner or professional discounts/scholarships.
The Double Shark scholarship amount is based upon the graduate tuition cost per credit at the time the alum applies to the graduate program.
The Double Shark Scholarship can only begin to be disbursed following the alum's completion of an initial Simmons degree program.
