UMD Scholars Program

Do students accepted into the Scholars program receive an additional scholarship for being in Scholars

Being in Scholars does not result in any automatic scholarships.

Being in Honors does not result in any automatic scholarships.

All priority applications are reviewed for merit aid (scholarships)

Website says the scholarship award notification is in March for Scholars/Honors.

Yes, that is true. But it does not mean that everyone in Honors/Scholars gets a scholarship. For example, only about 400 students are invited to interview for the Banneker Key scholarship and only about 150 get the Full scholarship.
