University of Rhode Island. . .

Located in southern Rhode Island, University of Rhode Island is a quintessential New England campus - rural in feeling yet close to the city of Providence, the state's capital. Linked to the city, the beaches, and nearly every corner of the state by both rail and public transit, the campus is easily accessible from Boston and New York. The University also maintains a marine campus, an environmental campus and conference center, and an urban campus in downtown Providence. Like our small state, URI has something for everyone.

URI offers over 100 majors in seven degree-granting colleges. There are more than 12,000 students on the Kingston campus, about 3,000 in Providence, and a complement of about 700 faculty. URI researchers are engaged in projects that have local, national and international implications in programs as diverse as oceanography, family violence and behavior change, environmental cleanup, education reform, the "greening" of industry, botanical pharmaceuticals, international business and much, much more.

The University provides funds for grants to several hundred students. Awards are made to students with satisfactory academic records and demonstrated financial need.

Several thousand grants/scholarships are provided by organizations, corporations, and alumni. These grants are awarded to students with financial need who meet the particular restrictions of the donor.
