If you have any questions concerning the application process or the scholars program requirements, please contact the Women's Center director, Jess Myers, at womenscenter@umbc.edu.

We hosted 2 different information sessions in the Women's Center (which can now be found on our Facebook group for review) related to the application process and scholars program requirements on:

Wednesday, February 19th from 12-1pm OR

Thursday, March 5th from 4-4:45pm

Each year, applicants submit applications with errors that often impact their consideration for a scholarship. We highly encourage all applicants to attend an info session before submitting their application.The info session on 2/19 also includes an extended presentation focused on crafting personal statements. If you cannot attend one of the sessions in person, a live-stream option will be available via Facebook Live. Please contact the Women's Center for more information.

Applications are due now due Monday, April 6, 2020. If all all possible please submit electronically!
