The University of Maryland-College Park Dean's Scholarship offers an annual merit scholarship of $1,500 for freshman year or $4,500 per year for both freshman and sophomore years. The Dean's Scholarship is not renewable, and only in-state applicants are eligible. Recipients are identified through the evaluation of admission application materials including academic achievement, extracurricular activities, awards, honors, and an essay. Each fall, roughly 400 new recipients of the Dean's Scholarship are welcomed to the incoming class. Selected students will be notified of their scholarship by April 1.
