These schools in Massachusetts offer full scholarships and funding.
Quick tips to target “fully funded” offers
• Look for explicit guarantees (words like “all admitted PhD students receive…” or “guaranteed five years”). The schools below do.
• Verify current stipend & terms (they update yearly). Most programs note exact monthly/annual amounts on funding pages.
• Master’s vs. PhD: fully funded master’s are rare; MFA Creative Writing at BU and UMass Boston are standout exceptions. Most other master’s rely on partial scholarships; PhDs are the domain of guaranteed packages.
