CNMS Town Hall Reminder

The Women's Center's Returning Women Students/Adult Learners Scholarships Application for 2022-23 is available now via Scholarship Retriever to undergraduate students who meet the eligibility requirements.

The deadline for submission via Scholarship Retriever is Friday, April 8, 2022.

This common application which is called Women's Center: Returning Women Students/Adult Learners 2022-2023 in Scholarship Retriever enables eligible students to apply for more than one of the Returning Women Students/Adult Learner Scholarships with just one submission. Please note that this opportunity to apply will only appear in Scholarship Retriever to students who meet the scholarship qualifications. The six available scholarships via the Returning Women Student Scholarship Application are:

Charlotte W. Newcombe Scholarship & The UMBC Scholarship for Mature Students

Jodi Mister/Charlotte W. Newcombe Scholarship

Charlotte W. Newcombe STEM Scholarship

AEGON Scholarship

The Richard & Roselyn Bryson Neville Memorial Fund for Returning Women Scholarship

The Rosalie Tydings Business and Professional Women’s Scholarship

Undergraduate students of any gender over the age of 25 and with at least 60 credits and 2.5 GPA may be eligible. Students must be completing their first undergraduate degree.

If a student does not meet these requirements, the scholarship opportunity will not appear on Scholarship Retriever. Students who have not completed the FAFSA will not see the opportunity in Scholarship Retriever. Students who wish to still be considered despite not meeting these requirements should contact the Women's Center directly. This encouragement to reach out directly to the Women's Center extends to students who have extenuating circumstances (i.e. students who are DACA/undocumented) that may prevent them from completing the FAFSA.

Students who are selected to be scholars are required to participate in the Returning Women Students/Adult Learners Scholars + Affiliates program. For more information about the program, visit the Women Center's website.

Virtual Information sessions have concluded and due to technical difficulties, these sessions were not recorded. We are able, however, to make the presentation materials available by request. Email womenscenter@umbc.edu for information.

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