All first-year applicants to WPI are considered for a National Consortium of Specialized STEM Schools (NCSSS) scholarship from a participating school. Up to 5 accepted students will receive a scholarship that is valued at $60,000 or more (or $15,000 or more per year for up to four years). The recipients are selected based on their academic performance, program of study, recommendations, and personal statement. Submissions of project-based academic work and examples of work from summer programs and other academic experiences are welcome, as well as part of the admissions evaluation process. There is no separate application for this scholarship. As part of the admission requirements, students must submit a school counselor's letter of recommendation and a teacher's letter of recommendation. Early Decision applicants are required to submit the Early Decision Agreement. Please visit the scholarship website for more information.
