Applicants needing federal and institutional financial assistance to help with the cost of attending a school or program at UMB must complete the Free Application for Federal Aid (FAFSA).

Please note:

• Each year, the FAFSA is available on October 1st. USFA strongly encourages completing the FAFSA at https://studentaid.gov no later than March 1st for priority consideration.
• The 2022-2023 FAFSA covers the 2022-2023 Academic Year (Summer 2022, Fall 2022, and Spring 2023).
• Students must complete a FAFSA for every academic year they wish to receive assistance.

The Cost of Attendance (COA) is the maximum amount of financial assistance available to a student in one academic year. The COA is determined using each student’s enrollment and residency classification (Resident or Non-Resident). Tuition is based upon enrollment of twelve (12) credits.

Applicants are awarded 100% of the Cost of Attendance with assistance from federal and institutional resources. Institutional scholarships are awarded by the School of Social Work; incoming students may contact Amanda Lehning (alehning@ssw.umaryland.edu), Senior Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, with any questions regarding scholarships.

*Living expenses are based on off-campus housing which includes University Suites at Fayette Square. This is based on the standard 9 months.
