At the School of Public Health, we are committed to making higher education affordable for all.

Students can finance their education through many forms of financial aid, including merit- and need-based scholarships, grants, loans and student employment (also known as Federal Work-Study).

 

As an academic institution, we support students pursuing degrees at all levels, but recognize that there are special circumstances for each student, including those seeking to study without pursuing a degree. These non-degree seeking students should follow the application process specific to them depending on whether they are interested in undergraduate or graduate course work. 

There are a number of ways to become a student at the University of Maryland School of Public Health whether you're applying as an undergraduate, graduate or non-degree seeking student.
