Each academic year, Senators and Delegates in the Maryland General Assembly receive legislative scholarship funds, $50,000, through the Maryland Higher Education Commission to award to their constituents. If you live in the 43A District (enter your address here to determine your legislative district), you can contact Senator Mary L. Washington, Delegate Elizabeth Embry, and myself to apply. Every legislator has their own award criteria and deadlines. Please be sure to check with each office for their award criteria. Click the link below to fill out the application:
2024- 2025 Scholarship Application
Scholarship Application for 2023-2024 year open until May 31, 2024
To be eligible for a Delegate Scholarship, you must plan to attend a Maryland college or university, or a private career school. Private career schools must have the Maryland Higher Education Commission’s approval to operate and be accredited by a national accrediting association approved by the US. Department of Education. You may also attend a nursing school if the Commission approves the curriculum. Students may attend full or part-time.
If your major is not offered at a Maryland institution of higher education, you may apply for a unique major designation that would allow you to use our Delegate Scholarship funds for an out-of-state school.
My scholarship application must be filled out completely and returned with all the required documentation (e.g. transcripts, resume, etc.) to my office by May 31, 2024. Materials may also be electronically sent to my email address (regina.boyce@house.state.md.us).
Scholarship Awards: I award scholarship funds based on those that apply timely meeting all application requirements by the application deadline. Maryland legislative scholarships are not renewable. You must check back in each academic year for the new application form and send your materials for continued financial support.
I am honored for the ability and opportunity to assist you with meeting your goals in higher education. You can find more information on the legislative scholarship program, and other financial assistance programs run by the State of Maryland, on the Maryland Higher Education Commission’s Programs and Applications webpage. Should you have any further questions, or if I can assist you with the further information on this process and/or your application, please contact my office in Annapolis at 410-841-3476.
