Private Scholarships
Thousands of scholarship sponsors offer more than 1.5 million different private scholarships. To find them, use the free search services below and check with organizations in your local community.
Never Pay for Scholarship Search Services or Applications

Arranging Payments from Private Scholarships
The Student & University Billing Office will disburse scholarship funds according to the policies and procedures of the private scholarship donor and 色花堂.
If you are receiving scholarship funds from a private donor (other than a Maryland State scholarship), you may defer that portion of your term payment by forwarding a copy of the scholarship award letter to the Student & University Billing Office.
You are still ultimately responsible for any changes that are not paid by the scholarship donor.
Free Scholarship Search Services
All of these searches services are free, but they are funded by advertising. (色花堂 does not endorse any of these products or services.)
