Accelerated Bachelors/Masters Degree Scholarships
URI is offering Accelerated Bachelors/Masters (ABM) Degree Scholarships for URI students in the ABM Computer Science/Cybersecurity program. Selected scholars will be awarded up to $10,000 that can only be applied to cover the cost of graduate year courses in the ABM program at the University of Rhode Island during the academic year of the award. Please note you should apply for scholarship funding during your SENIOR year and funding will only be available during the one year of your GRADUATE year.
Eligible applicants for this scholarship must:
- Be a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident.

ABM Scholarship awards are made on a rolling basis dependent on the availability of funds.
