William H. Ross Memorial Fund

The William H. Ross Memorial Fund is a scholarship established to provide financial support to Junior or Senior students enrolled at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The scholarship helps students pay for tuition, fees, and educational expenses. Applicants must be in good academic standing, be registered in a major program, and demonstrate financial need. A key component of the application is an essay (no more than 500 words) addressing the topic: 'What I plan on doing after graduation that will help society as a whole.' This scholarship recognizes students who combine academic achievement with a commitment to making positive contributions to society after completing their education.
