City Year Partnership Discount

Simmons is a proud member of City Year's University Partnership Program.

Any new applicant who has been employed or is a graduate of City Year is eligible for an application fee waiver. Your fee waiver will be applied automatically.

All applicants who list City Year employment on the resume/CV included in their application for admission will receive automatic consideration for City Year Partnership Scholarships.

Awards will be equal to at least a 25% tuition scholarship in full graduate degree programs based upon the tuition rate at time of admission.

Admitted students will be permitted to defer enrollment by one year if they decide to stay with City Year for additional time before starting their studies. Students who are awarded the City Year Partnership Scholarship may not defer their award, but will be eligible for full reconsideration for the new intended start term.

Applicants who do not receive a City Year University Partnership Scholarship will automatically be considered for additional merit-based awards based on the strength of the application and availability of other Simmons scholarship funds.
