Name: Maryland Educational Assistance (EA) Grant
Award Amount: Up to $3,000 per year.
Information And Eligibility:
The Educational Assistance (EA) Grant is one of Maryland’s primary need-based financial aid programs, created to support undergraduate students who require additional assistance in covering the cost of attending college. Administered by the Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC), this grant provides up to $3,000 per year to qualifying students who demonstrate significant financial need and meet all state eligibility requirements. The EA Grant helps Maryland residents reduce out-of-pocket expenses for tuition, books, and other educational costs, making higher education more accessible and achievable.
Designed specifically for full-time, degree-seeking undergraduate students, the EA Grant supports those enrolled at eligible Maryland colleges and universities, including both public and private institutions. Awards are offered on a sliding scale based on documented financial need, ensuring that students with the highest level of need receive the greatest level of support. Applicants must submit all required financial aid forms by the statewide March 1 deadline to be considered.
In addition to financial need, students must maintain satisfactory academic progress as defined by their institution to continue receiving the grant each year. Recipients are strongly encouraged to submit the FAFSA or MSFAA as early as possible, as funding is limited and awarded on a first-come, first-served basis for eligible applicants.
