Scholarships

First Generation Endicott Scholarship

Every year Endicott College offers a first-generation scholarship, the Inspire Scholarship, to a select group of students whom we believe are poised to make an impact at the College and beyond.

This has the opportunity to offer substantial assistance to make the Endicott experience possible. While we typically use the FAFSA to identify and award these students, we are also asking our secondary school counseling colleagues to help identify eligible students.

Please complete this short form by March 10
if you have any students who have been admitted to Endicott for Fall 2026 who you think would be a good fit.

The students will need to meet the following criteria:

  • First-generation college student—for the purposes of this scholarship, this is defined as an individual whose parents did not complete a baccalaureate degree
  • United States citizen or permanent resident
  • Demonstrates high financial need
  • Strong academic performance in high school

Any student that you recommend will need to complete the FAFSA, if they have not already done so.

Please reach out to me if you have any questions or if you'd like me to provide you with a list of your high school's admitted students. A recommendation does not guarantee the student will receive the Inspire Scholarship but ensures they are considered.

Thank you for your support!

Sincerely,

Michael C. Iorio
