As I'm considering colleges in Maryland, I'm also curious about any state-specific scholarships that might help ease the tuition burden. Any advice on Maryland scholarships or where I can find a good list?
My recommendation is to begin your search with the Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC). It's committed to promoting access to higher education in Maryland with a variety of financial aid programs.
On their official website, you could find details about state-specific scholarship programs such as the Howard P. Rawlings Program of Educational Excellence Awards, which is a need-based program for Maryland residents; the Legislative scholarships offered by State Delegates and Senators; or the Maryland Part-Time Grant for students attending college on a part-time basis.
You can also look at your prospective college's financial aid page, as Maryland colleges and universities may offer scholarships to incoming or currently enrolled students. In-state students often have unique opportunities based on merit, financial need, or specific circumstances.
I also suggest checking out Appily's scholarship search platform. It allows you to search for many scholarships in one place.
Remember, applying for scholarships can sometimes be time-consuming, so it's important to stay organized and persistent. Good luck on your scholarship search!
