TLST Starter Scholarship

If accepted to UMBC’s TLST (applied biotechnology) program and enrolled in at least 6 credits of TLST classes, you will receive a scholarship up to $1500 for each of two years.*

*Scholarships will be awarded to new incoming students who enter UMBC between now and fall 2025 having declared TLST as their major and enrolling in at least 6 credits in the TLST program . The scholarship provides funding up to $1500 per year, for up to two years of study. For students enrolled at UMBC full-time, they will receive $1500 per year ($750 for each semester). For those enrolled part-time, the amount provided will be prorated accordingly. A new student who is admitted to UMBC and declares TLST as their major but needs lower-level and prerequisite courses that they choose to take at the UMBC Catonsville campus, is eligible to receive the scholarship. Please note that the scholarship will not be applied to a student’s account until the student ultimately completes enough coursework to officially update their campus designation to Shady Grove and enrolls in at least 6 credits in the TLST program offered specifically at the UMBC-Shady Grove campus. UMBC first year and Catonsville campus students changing their major to TLST are not eligible for the scholarship, however, other funding opportunities may be available in the future.
