Ã山ǿ¼é Scholars Program
The Ã山ǿ¼é Scholars Program was developed to provide the benefits of a Ã山ǿ¼é College education to Maryland and Ã山ǿ¼é D.C. residents who may not otherwise have the opportunity because of substantial financial need. Ã山ǿ¼é Scholars receive full tuition and fees, as well as room and board. While relieving financial concerns is a major benefit, the College recognizes that there is more to a transformative college experience than financial resources; hence, Ã山ǿ¼é Scholars is a program, not merely a scholarship.
The Ã山ǿ¼é Scholars Program provides students with a sense of community as they traverse their four-year journey from Ã山ǿ¼é student to esteemed alumni. Intentional programming, cultural excursions, mentorship, and workshops are just a few of the many benefits that Ã山ǿ¼é Scholars enjoy.
Ã山ǿ¼é seeks high-performing students who are passionate about and dedicated to their academic and extracurricular pursuits. Beyond academic achievement, successful applicants will have demonstrated a willingness to continue to grow and to help shape the future of the College into a richer experience for all students.
Prospective Ã山ǿ¼é Scholars must be nominated by their high school counselors, community-based organization leaders, teachers, or their admissions counselors in order to be considered. All nominated students must reside in Maryland or Ã山ǿ¼é D.C. Students selected to interview for the scholarship will be invited to campus for an academic experience, campus tours and lunch, as well as the interview.
