Description
The Senatorial Scholarship is a legislatively awarded program administered by the Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC) and distributed by Maryland State Senators. The scholarship supports Maryland residents—including current high school seniors, undergraduate and graduate students (full- or part-time), and students at private career schools—in pursuing postsecondary education. Recipients are selected by their district’s State Senator, and awards may be used at Maryland institutions or, in some cases, at out-of-state schools if specific exemptions are met.
