The Alumni Association will be awarding $60,000 to 30 deserving (undergraduate and graduate) students this year. The application is currently available online and due by April 19, 2020. They have extended the deadline in light of everything going on and hope that more students apply during this time.
Competitive applicants should have a cumulative GPA of a 3.0 higher, show commitment to the university community through on-campus and/or off-campus involvement, and exhibit Terp pride. Legacy status (a family member of the applicant having attended the University of Maryland, College Park) is an additional element of the review process, but is not a requirement for consideration.
In order to be eligible for this award, applicants must:
- Have completed one semester at the University of Maryland, College Park at the time of application;
- Submit a complete, online application;
- Have a reference form submitted on the applicant’s behalf;
- Be enrolled full time (12+ credits for undergraduate students and 48+ units for graduate students) during both the Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 semesters.
Recipients will receive a $2,000 award, $1000 per each semester (Fall 2020 and Spring 2021). Awards will be applied to the recipient’s student account (by the Office of Student Financial Aid) prior to the first day of classes for each semester awarded.
