Harvard Extension School
Imagine a world-class education that’s accessible, flexible, affordable, and designed for impact. That’s Harvard Extension School. Whether you’re looking to earn an undergraduate or graduate degree, take a course for personal enrichment, or stack your courses toward a graduate certificate — and then a degree — you will find a wide range of formats and options designed just for you.
Lowell Scholarships enable middle school and high school teachers to take one Extension School course per term (fall and spring) at half the regular tuition rate (for undergraduate or graduate credit only). The number of scholarships is limited, so teachers should apply early in the registration period. Scholarships cannot be used for January session or summer courses.
The scholarship form must be signed by the school principal and must include the principal’s phone number.
Lowell Scholarships cannot be used for internships, independent studies, practicums, master’s theses, or capstone projects, nor can they be combined with any other scholarships.
