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. Students are also highly encouraged to visit the Office of Student Financial Aid's website to learn more about financial aid and the university's cost of attendance.  The Office of Student Financial Aid recommends that all students complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) annually by the university's priority deadline.  Due to the FAFSA delay, our 2024-25 FAFSA filing priority deadline is now April 1, 2024. We encourage you to complete the 2024-25 FAFSA as soon as possible. 

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.
