Funding & Scholarships

We base many of the scholarships provided at the University of Maryland on financial need, so it is important for you to complete the Free Application for Student Financial Aid (FAFSA) by the federal deadline. For information about eligibility, how to apply for financial aid, aid offer, and disbursement at UMD, please visit the Office of Student Financial Aid. 

Students experiencing financial difficulty or crisis due to the coronavirus pandemic may apply for emergency financial assistance through the UMD Student Crisis Fund. 

Current students can also apply for the UMD Emergency Financial Aid Grant funding through the Office of Student Financial Aid.
