Scholarship Review Process

The Scholarships360 Research Team reviews all scholarships individually and strives to exclude any scholarship where any of the below applies:

  • The scholarship requires a fee to apply
  • The scholarship provider’s privacy policy allows for the misuse of student data
  • The scholarship requires paid membership in an organization (with certain exceptions for reputable trade organizations and others)
  • Student are required to sign up for a site or service to apply*
  • The scholarship seems primarily used for lead generation** or idea harvesting purposes***
  • The scholarship website has many grammatical errors and/or advertisements
  • The scholarship or scholarship providing organization seem untrustworthy
  • There is no evidence the scholarship was previously awarded
  • The scholarship has not been awarded in the past 12 months
  • There is no available contact information

If you believe a scholarship has been published in error, please reach out to [email protected] and we’ll take a look!


* There are certain exceptions to this, for example if the sponsoring organization is a major corporation or nonprofit with its own scholarship application system.
** Lead generation scholarships will require students to sign up for an app or website and require minimal (if any) application requirements.
***Idea harvesting scholarships will require students to submit blog posts or other materials that companies may use for marketing purposes.

The state of Maryland has a wealth of educational options, ranging from research universities like Johns Hopkins University to the U.S. Naval Academy to the state flagship university the University of Maryland. Maryland scholarships exist to help support in-state Maryland residents, as well as other students who hope to attend college in the “Old Line State”. Let’s take a look at what scholarships are available!

How to win Maryland scholarships

Maryland has rich historical significance, as it was one of the original 13 colonies and played a crucial role in the American Revolution. Additionally, Maryland is home to large vibrant cities such as Baltimore, several prestigious research universities, and a very unique geography with its charming Eastern Shore. Therefore, it is no surprise you’re looking to win Maryland scholarships! 

In order to win Maryland scholarships, you need to be yourself! This means searching for scholarships that align with your passions and career goals. Once you find these scholarships, you should then respond to scholarship essay questions by highlighting how Maryland helped you reach your goals and determine your future. 

For example, if you grew up fascinated with the history of Maryland, it may come as no surprise that you want to pursue a career teaching history. Therefore, make it known in your scholarship application that your firsthand experiences growing up in Maryland allowed you to realize your history passion. Make sure to emphasize that you wouldn’t be who you are without Maryland! Connecting your uniqueness to the uniqueness of Maryland will make you stand out in Maryland scholarship applications.

Writing resources for writing Maryland scholarship essays

In order to win Maryland scholarships, you may have to write an essay about yourself. Be sure to check out our Scholarships360 guides on how to start a scholarship essay (with examples), how to write a 500 word essay, and how to end a scholarship essay.  Additionally, be sure to read over the ultimate guide to finding and winning scholarships to ensure you are well prepared to win Maryland scholarships.

Maryland student debt snapshot

According to the Department of Education, in total, Maryland residents owe $35.9 billion in federal student loan debt. Student borrowers owe an average of $42,861 each (those numbers do not include private loans). Around 50.5% of loan borrowers are under the age of 35. As you are starting your higher education journey, remember that scholarships allow students to take fewer loans. Make sure that you apply to as many scholarships as you qualify for!

Consider in-state tuition and tuition reciprocity 

In-state tuition allows residents of a state to receive cheaper tuition for a college or university in their state. Additionally, many universities and colleges reserve scholarships and financial aid for in-state students, which helps reduce the cost of attending college for those who live there.

Here are a few well-known Maryland universities and their in-state vs out-of-state tuition costs:

University of Maryland

  • In-state tuition: $9,889
  • Out-of-state tuition: $38,690

Towson University

  • In-state tuition: $11,306
  • Out-of-state tuition: $28,326

How do you get in-state tuition in Maryland? 

Having Maryland residency significantly reduces the cost of tuition for Maryland colleges and universities. In order to become a Maryland resident for tuition purposes you will have to meet the following nine criteria:

  • Owning or renting while continuously occupying living quarters in Maryland
  • Having substantial personal property in Maryland
  • Paying Maryland income tax
  • Registering all vehicles in Maryland
  • Possessing a valid Maryland driver’s license
  • Receiving no public assistance from a state other than Maryland
  • Having the legal ability under law to live permanently and without interruption in Maryland
  • Rebutting the presumption that you are to live in Maryland primarily to attend an educational institution

Does Maryland offer tuition reciprocity?

Maryland is a member of the Academic Common Market, which is a tuition reciprocity agreement among select Southern states. If a public institution in Maryland does not offer a degree program major (undergraduate or graduate) that you intend on pursuing, you can then attend at a participating ACM out-of-state tuition at in-state tuition rates.
