Freshmen admitted to the Clark School for the fall semester will be automatically considered for Clark Foundation Scholarship Program awards available to first-year students. In addition to submitting the freshman application to the University of Maryland by the November 1 early action deadline, 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.
