Description
The Campus-Based Educational Assistance Grant (CBEAG) is a need-based financial aid program administered by the Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC). It is designed to support Maryland students who were not considered for the Howard P. Rawlings Educational Assistance Grant because they did not file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the MHEC One App by the Maryland state deadline of March 1. CBEAG provides financial assistance through participating Maryland institutions to help cover postsecondary educational costs for eligible students who missed the primary state aid deadline.
