Details.
Successful applicants receive full financial support for tuition, room and board, as well as a stipend of $800 for the first summer and a weekly stipend of $200 during the second and third summers. Crimson Scholars who successfully complete the three-year program are awarded a $3,000 scholarship for use at the college or university of their choice. The opportunity is for eligible public school students in Boston, Cambridge, or Somerville who currently attend ninth grade and have been nominated by a principal, teacher, or guidance counselor. Continued participation in later summers depends on successful completion of the prior summer and continued enrollment in a public school system.
