Student Success Scholarship

The Residential Life Student Success Scholarship was created to assist students who demonstrate significant financial need and may otherwise be unable to afford on-campus housing. Residential Life wants to minimize barriers to the on-campus experience by supporting student success and engagement. Scholarship award funds will not exceed the total cost of the housing balance for the semester of application.

Students may only receive one Student Success Scholarship during their time at UMBC. Additionally, students who are licensed with Walker Avenue Apartments or hired as a Residential Life Paraprofessional for the award period are not eligible for this scholarship.

To be eligible, students must:

• Be a current degree-seeking undergraduate resident.
• Be living in a UMBC-owned and operated hall, suite, or apartment (not Walker Avenue).
• Be enrolled in a minimum of 12 credits per semester.
• Be in good academic standing with the University, 2.5 GPA or higher.
• Have completed a FAFSA and demonstrate high financial need.
• Have no judicial record.
