• Official due date of May 1 is really not in stone, we will continue to accept applications through mid-May so they can share that info with prospective students who are worried about meeting the soft May 1 deadline.
• Most important reminder: this scholarship program is for:
• U.S. Citizens, permanent residents, and DREAM Act students
• Rising sophomores in any major planning to transfer to UMD-College Park after earning AA or AS degree
• Not an honors program, but looking for GPA of 2.75 or higher (and higher for some degrees)
• Students receive 3-year scholarship but must be planning to transfer with their cohort to UMD-CP.
