<p>I checked the UMD fin aid website and it says:</p>
<p>Institutional Grants (UM Grant, Frederick Douglass Grant, and UM Scholarship)
To be considered for one of these three need-based university grants, undergraduate students must demonstrate high financial need, submit a FAFSA by UM's Priority Deadline, and meet other criteria defined by the university's packaging policy.</p>
<p>My question is:</p>
<p>I filled out my FAFSA in mid February, but I did not apply to UMD until March 17. Does this mean I missed the UM Priority Deadline? My FAFSA information was already filled out and on file but UMD did not get it sent to them until after I applied. Someone please help and let me know!</p>
