Scholarships
We offer scholarships for both graduating high school seniors and adult learners in Caroline, Dorchester, Kent, Queen Anne’s and Talbot Counties. You can review detailed descriptions of all scholarships in our Scholarship Publication.
To apply, create an account/login to the “Scholarship Application Portal” and complete the application.
All scholarship applications are reviewed by a designated Scholarship Review Committee after the application cycle closes. Each application is carefully evaluated according to the eligibility requirements and selection criteria established for the scholarship. Once the review process is complete and award decisions are finalized, all applicants will be notified of their scholarship status.
