Apply. Be Rewarded. Be Financially Supported.
2025-26 LSBE Scholarship applications are now open.
Last year LSBE awarded approximately 150 scholarships, totaling over $440,000. Most scholarships are awarded to juniors and seniors, but there are also scholarships for freshmen and sophomores. The minimum award for an LSBE scholarship is $1,000, and several are $2,500, $4,000, and higher. Each scholarship has different criteria, and may or may not include: financial need, merit, GPA, and meaningful extracurricular activities or community service.
You must be enrolled at UMD in LSBE for one or more semesters during the 2025-26 academic year in order to be eligible for an LSBE scholarship. If you change colleges outside of LSBE during the 2025-26 academic year, you will lose your LSBE scholarship.
If you received a renewable scholarship in 2024-25, please re-apply for the 2025-26 renewal.
Complete the scholarship application and you will be considered for all scholarships for which you are eligible.
