Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC)

Maryland College Aid Processing System (MDCAPS) Portal Update

The MDCAPS portal will be down for the awarding of our largest financial aid programs (Educational Assistance Grant and Guaranteed Access Grant) for 2024-2025, beginning sometime during the week of April 22nd. We will provide the exact dates the system is expected to be down as soon as possible.

The portal will be temporarily unavailable for MDCAPS users to prevent external changes to student accounts as we complete our initial awarding processes for 2024-2025.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at faohelp.mhec@maryland.gov.

Thank you.
