Getting Started...
For many students and their families college is a major investment. We recognize that families may need some assistance to make college more affordable. At the University of Maryland, we offer an array of financial aid programs, scholarships, grants, loans and student employment opportunities. We encourage you to use our online information to educate yourself about our merit scholarships, need-based financial aid programs and other sources of aid, available to assist you in financing your Maryland education.
It is a simple process to apply for merit scholarships and need-based financial aid.
To be considered for merit scholarships, a student must first apply for undergraduate admission as a degree-seeking student. Applicants who submit an application for undergraduate admission to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions by the priority deadline will be given priority consideration for most merit scholarships.
To be considered for need-based financial aid, a student must complete and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) annually. Do not wait to be admitted to the University of Maryland before submitting the FAFSA. The FAFSA can be filed beginning on January 1st. We strongly recommend that you submit the FAFSA no later than February 1st so that your information will be received by our priority deadline of February 15th.
