UMass Lowell offers several scholarships for international graduate students, who may also receive teaching or research assistantships from their departments. First-time, first-year international undergraduates may be considered for selected merit scholarships and fellowships, and current students can apply for endowed scholarships through the River Hawk Scholarship Portal. International students must show proof of financial support before receiving an I-20 or DS-2019, so scholarships should not be counted on as guaranteed funding.
