Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) is a highly selective technological university offering degrees with 40 majors in the pure and applied sciences, engineering, computer science, management and business administration, and the liberal arts.

Scholarship Opportunities
All admitted applicants are automatically considered for academic merit scholarships, which typically range from $10,000 to $25,000 per year. Scholarships are renewable for up to four years of undergraduate study. Most noteworthy, valedictorians, salutatorians, and IB diploma graduates with a diploma score of 40 or greater admitted to WPI are guaranteed an academic merit scholarship worth a minimum of $19,000 per year.
Another of WPI’s newest scholarship opportunities is the Global Scholars Program. WPI has sent more science and engineering students abroad than any other private university in the United States. Today, approximately 50% of our students complete at least one academic project overseas (www.wpi.edu/academics/GPP/ Overview/index.html). Whether in Venice or Bangkok, Copenhagen or Cape Town–or at any of our 31 project centers around the world–students collaborate with peers, faculty advisors, and local community members on projects that make a difference in the world. This scholarship program will help provide opportunities for WPI students to fully participate in our global curriculum for years to come. Each year, up to 50 Global Scholars are selected and receive a one-time $5,000 scholarship to be used for a WPI Global Studies experience.
In addition to merit scholarships, WPI offers a limited number of need-based scholarships to international students, typically ranging from $5,000 to $25,000. These awards are renewed each year, provided the student remains in good academic standing. WPI does not guarantee to meet applicants’ full financial need.
