UMass Amherst 2021 decision thread

I got the $12,000 Chancellor’s Award? Does anyone know what the most UMass Amherst offers as awards? Also what is CHC and did you have to apply for it

Not that I’m going, since I got accepted ED to another school, but it’s definitely an ego boost to get into CHC haha
(CHC = Commonwealth Honors College) and I did not get an email yet

Are any other people currently getting accepted at this time or should I just check next week?

Still says “under review”

I have clicked on everything and still can’t see any merit award!

yeah same @sgw2021 mine still says under review

@tagreen348 what did you apply for? I applied for business

I applied for psychology ( do you think people characterize that as a “competitive” major?)

One more question guys, is the Chancellors Award the financial aid the school is offering after viewing FAFSA or is it something extra aside from that?

My daughter has been accepted for nursing. We are OOS, she just found out about a half hour ago. She also received a $12,000 a year scholarship. We never expected to hear today, she just checked for the heck of it lol. Good luck to all!

WOW it looks like my son was offered NO award!!!

Just got accepted for nursing!
