ACCESS Last Dollar Scholarship
Deadline: June 6th

ACCESS provides Last Dollar Scholarships to Boston and Springfield High School students who submit their financial aid applications and find their financial aid award does not entirely cover their need. ACCESS scholarships are need-based and help to bridge the remaining financial gap to college for those applicants that fall within the awardable range, as determined by ACCESS.
