Below you will find the link to my Delegation Scholarship Application for the 2024-2025 academic year. To ensure consideration for the 2024-2025 academic year, the completed application and required associated documents must be returned to my Annapolis Office by April 15, 2024.
Application materials can be emailed by the deadline as a PDF file to to terri.hill@house.state.md.us. Please include (First and Last Name: 2024-2025 Scholarship Application) in the subject line.
Submissions of completed applications are also accepted by mail (404 House Office Building, 6 Bladen Street, Annapolis, MD 21401) and must be postmarked by April 15, 2024.
Awards are not automatically renewed. If you were awarded a scholarship last year and wish to be considered to receive one this year, you will need to re-apply.
In order to apply for this Scholarship, the student must first file the free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), submit it before the application deadline and attach a copy to the application.
Applications will be scored by a committee of volunteers and awards made based on the funds available, number of applicants, and strength of each individual application.
Preference will be given to students who reside within the boundaries of the 12A Legislative District. To confirm your district for the newly configured maps, please click HERE.
Awards are generally made by the end of June. In the case of High School Seniors, every effort is made to complete award determination decisions in time for the award to be announced at each school’s senior award ceremonies in May and June.
Some exceptions to application and award deadlines may be made in cases where the award is for a semester other than the fall. Please contact us by email or phone to request an exception to the deadline. Please review the instructions carefully and include all of the requested documentation.
Should you have any questions or need further information, feel free to contact my office, terri.hill@house.state.md.us or 410-841-3378, with any questions, problems or concerns regarding the scholarship, application or process.
