About
Where will your national scholarship take you?
ONSA helps UMass students and alumni pursue national scholarships. Often these scholarships support work abroad.
ONSA helps eligible students—including UMass Amherst undergraduates, graduate students, and alumni—find and apply for nationally competitive scholarships and fellowships. We provide free advice and professional guidance throughout the application process and offer informational events, writing workshops, and other assistance during the year. We also help undergraduate students in their applications for a set of highly selective Presidential university scholarships.
