- HOW MANY SCHOLARSHIPS CAN I ACTUALLY RECEIVE?
It is the policy of the Allegany College of Maryland Foundation to award no more than
three (3) Allegany College of Maryland Foundation scholarships or $2,500, to one individual.
This, however, does not mean that the most you may ever receive is $2,500.
- IF I AM AWARDED A SCHOLARSHIP,
DO I AUTOMATICALLY RECEIVE THE AWARD FOR THE SECOND SEMESTER?
DO I AUTOMATICALLY RECEIVE THE SAME SCHOLARSHIP THE NEXT YEAR?
No. In order for a scholarship recipient to have an award continued into the second
semester (ordinarily initial awards are given during the Fall), the recipient must
remain eligible under the particular requirements of the scholarship. For those scholarships
which state in their descriptions that
continuation into the second year is possible, students must reapply.
