“With this award, I’ll be better able to focus on my academic pursuits without having to worry about
how I’m going to be able to afford my education.” – Holden ‘23
Student scholarships make a tremendous impact on the lives of our most deserving students. Last school year, over $270,000 in scholarship aid was awarded to 260 Westfield State students. Your donation provides students the relief of focusing on their academics without the financial burdens of attending Westfield State. The variety of scholarship opportunities are unique to serve each student at our University. From Academic, Athletic, and Music scholarships, we hope you will consider making a gift that will have a lasting impact on our students.
Browse all of the scholarship opportunities available to our students in the scholarship directory.
