Wentworth offers merit-based scholarships in addition to need-based aid. All applicants are automatically considered for Merit Awards - no additional application is necessary. Merit Scholarships range from $1000 to $20,000 for the entering class of Fall 2012. The Merit evaluation is determined by the Admissions Office and begins in mid-January.
