Award Amount
The annual award amount is the difference between the amount of tuition paid by an out-of-state student and the amount paid by an in-state student at the same institution, in the same educational program, for the identical number of credit hours. The amount of assistance is known as the tuition differential. It is the institution's responsibility to adjust the tuition charges so that a student pays the tuition charged to a Maryland resident.
Renewal Requirements
The award will be renewed automatically for an additional year if you attend a two-year public institution or for an additional three years if you attend a four-year public institution. You must maintain the satisfactory academic progress standards of the institution you attend and remain enrolled in an eligible program. Click here for the conditions of the award.
