<p>What is the difference between the Koplik and the Adams scholarship? I have heard that the Koplik scholarship doesn't necessarily have to be used right away like the Adams. I don't remember the exact stipulations of it because when I was notified that I received it, I wasn't considering going to a state school. But now that I have applied to UMass as a transfer it interests me. </p>

<p>I know I asked this question on a different thread but I thought it made more sense to post it on a new thread.</p>

<p>The requirement to keep the Adams is lower, a 3.0 versus a 3.3. These are tuition waivers, so you use them to waive tuition and nothing else.</p>

<p>Also, keep in mind, at UMass tuition is only a small percentage of the actual costs, somethng like $1500. Fees are over 6K. In-state tuition, room, board, fees total up to about 20K.</p>

<p>The Adams scholarship was a PR ploy of former governor Romney.</p>

<p>the waivers are a S<em>&T)</em>& because it covers only a meager amount enough for maybe four years of textbooks. The rest are fees. Ridiculous.</p>
