The initial round of awarding of UMGC donor-funded scholarships begins after the priority application filing deadline has passed. Students who are selected to receive a donor-funded scholarship will be notified at the time of awarding, and the scholarship will appear in the MyUMGC Student Portal. After the first round of awards is complete, students who were not selected will be notified by email, typically in late fall. However, as scholarship awards are adjusted throughout the aid year and funding becomes available, all applications continue to be reviewed for eligibility. It is possible that students could be selected for a donor-funded scholarship at any point throughout the aid year, as funding availability allows.
