School of Graduate Studies Fund

As the North Shore’s comprehensive regional university, with one of the most diverse student populations in the Massachusetts system, Salem State has a proud legacy of unlocking the doors of opportunity.

For students in the School of Graduate Studies, their journeys include a dynamic pursuit of knowledge, willingness to engage in a transformative experience and expansion of their research skills to enhance their knowledge base.

We’re committed to meeting every student where they are, affirming their goals and passions and fully supporting them in their quest to learn and graduate. The Meet the Moment™ campaign includes substantive investments in the foundational tools students need to pursue their interests, stay motivated and realize their dreams.

Our focused, driven, resilient graduate students are seeking a meaningful college experience that helps build their knowledge base to advance in their careers — combining theory and practice, which is vital to honing their craft. These professionals are often balancing family life, full-time employment and unpaid practicums with limited options for financial support, striving to reach their dreams.

Providing a diverse community of learners with a high-quality graduate education in an environment rich with research, scholarship and civic engagement are critical to addressing emerging needs in our society. And we must capitalize on new opportunities to promote student success.
