Transfer Scholarships
Note: These scholarships are targetted to those students transfering from another institution to the University of Maryland.
President's Transfer Scholarship
The President's Transfer Scholarship provides funding for a maximum of two years to transfer students enrolled at the University of Maryland. The annual award is in the amount of $5,000 and is determined through a competitive process based on academic talent. Students do not have to fill out a separate application to be considered for this award, as they will be evaluated based on their application to the University of Maryland.
Transfer Academic Excellence Scholarship
These awards are available to outstanding students transferring from Maryland community colleges. The awards cover in-state tuition and mandatory fees for two years of undergraduate study. To be eligible for consideration, students must have an overall grade point average of 3.5 for all college work attempted and must have completed an Associate of Arts degree or the entire first two years of courses for the major in which the student expects to enroll. Candidate nomination forms are available in late December from the UM Undergraduate Admissions Office or from community college advisers. The deadline for receipt of the application, official transcripts, and scholarships materials is early March.
Weinberg Regents Scholarship
The Board of Regents has designated the Weinberg Regents Scholarship to be awarded to a Maryland community college transfer student in order to continue the commitment to outstanding students. In order to be selected for this award, a student must have exceptional qualifications, including achievement of a 4.0 grade point average, completion of the Associates of Arts degree at a Maryland community college, evidence of creative and intellectual activities or scholarly potential, and have been admitted to one of the University of Maryland System institutions. The winner may receive the scholarship for two years, totaling no more than four semesters (including summer sessions).
