Financial Aid and Scholarships

Financial Aid

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. Please visit the University of Maryland's financial aid web page.
