The University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) offers a variety of scholarship opportunities for students, including merit-based, need-based, and program-specific awards. Merit scholarships, such as the Presidential and Provost Scholarships, recognize academic excellence and are awarded automatically upon admission. Need-based aid requires FAFSA submission and includes grants like the UMBC Grant.
Departmental scholarships cater to specific majors, while the Honors College provides additional funding for eligible students. External scholarships, such as the Maryland State Scholarships, are also available. Students should check UMBC’s financial aid portal and departmental websites for deadlines and eligibility criteria to maximize funding opportunities.
