3. Scholarships

Scholarships are highly prized because they represent a form of financial aid that does not have to be repaid. Both state and university scholarships are awarded through the UMUC financial aid process. Most scholarships are awarded based on academic performance and financial need.

UMUC offers more than 50 unique scholarship programs for undergraduate and graduate students, including the prestigious UMUC President’s Scholarship. Students can also apply and be considered for several different Maryland state scholarship programs, such as the coveted Legislative (Senatorial and Delegate) Scholarships.

UMUC scholarship awards are based on different criteria, such as academic achievement, financial need, or enrollment in a particular degree program or academic area. In addition, UMUC offers several special scholarship programs for Maryland community college graduates and for military personnel, spouses, and dependents. When you complete the UMUC scholarship application and essay, you will be considered for all university scholarships.
