Attention Maryland Residents!

Special Tuition Rates for Statewide and Health Manpower Shortage Programs

If you are a Maryland state resident but not an Allegany County resident, you may be eligible to pay In-County tuition rates.

The State of Maryland provides funds to pay the difference between Allegany County, Maryland, tuition rates and the regular out-of-county
tuition rates for Maryland residents enrolled in specific statewide-designated programs and health manpower shortage programs, listed below. Only these programs are eligible for this discount.

Here’s how it works:
1. You enroll at Allegany College of Maryland in a Statewide or Health Manpower Program (listed below).
2. You complete the Statewide or Health Manpower Program Application Form each semester. (Application forms are available in the Admissions/Registration Office.)
3. Around the second week of the semester, the College will defer the difference between in- and out-of-county tuition on your account, for subsequent payment by the State.
