Applications are now being accepted for the Delegate Julie Palakovich Carr Scholarship. The scholarship is open to residents of Maryland's 17th legislative district (Gaithersburg and Rockville) who are full-time or part-time students at a community college, undergraduate, or graduate institution located in Maryland.
The scholarship money will be awarded based on applicants' financial need. For reference, past applicants have typically had household incomes of less than $100,000 and the maximum scholarship award given was $2,500 per student. Note: if your family made more than $100,000 in 2019 but has suffered financial hardship because of the COVID-19 crisis, I would still encourage you to apply.
To apply, you must be:
A resident of Maryland's 17th legislative district (Rockville and Gaithersburg)
Enrolled in a community college, undergraduate or graduate program (full- or part-time)
Attending a college in Maryland in 2020-2021 OR apply for a unique major waiver from the Maryland Higher Education Commission
