State of Maryland Programs

Scholarship/grant money is available through the State of Maryland. Funds are both merit and need-based. To apply, you must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and list the University of Maryland School of Nursing (federal code 002104). Non-Maryland residents can apply for tuition assistance to reduce their tuition charges from out-of-state rates to in-state rates, a significant saving. This program has a Maryland employment service requirement.
