The Great Minds Scholars Program is a secondary scholarship that meets the student's full demonstrated financial need for tuition and fees once all other merit- and need-based scholarships are assessed. All merit-based scholarships at WPI, including the Great Minds Scholarship, are evaluated based on academic performance in high school, recommendations, leadership, extracurricular involvement, and community service. To be eligible for this scholarship, students must be pell-eligible seniors attending a Worcester Public High School, applying as first-year candidates. Eligible high schools are as follows: Claremont Academy, Burncoat High School, Doherty Memorial High School, North High School, South High Community School, University Park Campus School, and Worcester Technical High School. 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.
