Krystle Campbell Scholarship Fund

A University of Massachusetts Scholarship in Memory of Krystle Campbell

About the Krystle Campbell Scholarship Fund

The Krystle Campbell Scholarship Fund was started in memory of a UMass Boston alumnus who lost her life in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. The first Krystle Campbell scholarships were awarded in 2015 to two deserving undergraduate business students. Each year since, students who have demonstrated a need for financial assistance have been awarded scholarships, and with thanks to the continued fundraising efforts, we now award eight scholarships each year. The students selected stand out among their peers for their exceptional grades, volunteer work, involvement in the university and community, and all around excellence in academics. More than 80 students apply for the scholarship and many stated that without financial aid, they would not be able to complete their degree.
