Out-of-state students get most UMass merit money
A descriptive examination of how Universities use merit aid to enhance their student bodies and to increase revenue. “U Mass Amherst awarded $22m in merit scholarships to out-of-state students last year….the total far outstrips $9.9mm in merit aid provided to in-state students…” The flip-side is that the average merit scholarship is $7,600 per out-of-state student and out-of-state tuition is $31,000 vs. $14,000 for in-state residents, so they are still paying more to attend. These scholarships are essentially tuition discounts to attract academically strong out-of-state students.
