Community College Promise Scholarship deadline is Approaching
In 2018, the Maryland Legislature passed the Community College Promise Scholarship Program providing up to $5,000 in scholarships to Maryland students to attend Community College to cover tuition and mandatory fees that remain after all other scholarships and non-loan financial aid has been applied.
The deadline to apply for this scholarship for the 2019-2020 school year is coming up this coming Monday, June 17th.
In most cases, this could mean a Tuition-Free Community College education.
