The GVPT departmental scholarships applications for the 2025-2026 academic year are now open. Please note this year the University launched the Scholarship Universe platform. You may access each scholarship landing page by clicking on the 'Departmental Scholarships' links below or by visiting the Applications section of your Scholarship Universe profile. Information about applying for scholarships through Scholarship Universe and navigating the Scholarship Universe system can be found here.

Please note the links below will bring you to the LANDING PAGE for each scholarship fund. If you are eligible to apply for a particular scholarship, you will see a link to the ACTUAL application under the 'Additional Information' section at the very bottom of the landing page. The application details listed through those links are the most detailed and accurate descriptions of the scholarship eligibility requirements and application materials needed. If you do not see the application linked under the 'Additional Information' section, the Scholarship Universe system considers you ineligible for that award. Please email GVPTAdvising [at] umd.edu if you believe you are being erroneously excluded.

Application materials are due by April 15th, 2025. If you are applying for awards that require letters of recommendation, those letters of recommendation must be submitted by April 15th for your application to be considered complete. Please contact your recommender prior to submitting their contact information through Scholarship Universe. It is your responsibility to ensure your letter of recommendation is received on time.

**Please note that some of the essay questions for these awards have the same prompts. While you must submit an individual application for each scholarship to which you're applying, it is fine to use the same essay response for multiple awards. Be sure to make any minor adjustments that may reference one specific award versus another.
