As you prepare to apply to the University of Maryland there are important deadlines within the admission process to consider in order to maximize opportunities for scholarships and other financial aid. Prospective freshmen and transfer students who meet the university's early action admission deadlines are automatically reviewed for many campus merit scholarships managed by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Additionally, students should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by the University of Maryland priority deadline of January 1 in order to receive best consideration for need-based aid. Visit the Office of Student Financial Aid to learn more about the FAFSA and need-based aid opportunities. 

Incoming transfer students are also encouraged to apply for Clark School scholarships by completing the Clark School Scholarships Application by the priority deadline of May 31.
