Q I receive a Pell grant. How will this affect my scholarship application?

A If you receive a Pell grant and have at least a 3.0 GPA, then you have a higher chance of receiving a scholarship.



Q I have a University of Maryland Scholarship already. Should I still apply for a UMD Study Abroad Scholarship?

A Yes! You may be awarded a UM Study Abroad Scholarship on top of your regular University of Maryland scholarship. If you receive a University of Maryland scholarship and plan to attend a semester or year-long study abroad program that is approved by our office, then you can apply your UM scholarship as well as a UM Study Abroad Scholarship to your study abroad experience.



Q I intend to apply for the Md-in-London, Md-in-Spain, or Md-in-Nice program. Should I apply for the Program-Specific Scholarship, the UM Study Abroad Scholarship, or both.

A You may apply for both, but you will only be considered for the Program-Specific Scholarship, as the Study Abroad Office does not offer double-awards. However, we encourage you to consider applying to additional scholarships, which include national scholarships and country-specific scholarships.
