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 $30,000 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.
Eligible applicants for this scholarship must:
- Be a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident.
- Have been admitted to URI’s Accelerated Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science to Master’s Degree in Cybersecurity. You may apply for this scholarship concurrently with applying to the ABM program, or apply after acceptance to the ABM program.
- At the time of application for the scholarship, have filed a Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), with a FAFSA report sent to URI.
ABM Scholarship awards are made on a rolling basis dependent on the availability of funds.
Students interested in URI’s Cybercorps Scholarship For Service may apply for both that scholarship and this ABM Scholarship; at most one of these scholarships may be awarded to a student.
