Information And Eligibility:
The Part-Time Grant is a financial aid program designed to support Maryland residents who are pursuing their undergraduate education on a part-time basis. Administered through the Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC), the grant helps reduce financial barriers for students who cannot enroll full-time due to work, family responsibilities, or other personal circumstances. By offering flexible funding, the program allows students to continue progressing toward their degrees while balancing other obligations.

The grant is available to degree-seeking undergraduate students enrolled in 6–11 credits per semester at eligible Maryland colleges or universities. Award amounts vary by institution and are based on available state funding, student enrollment level, and demonstrated financial need. Funds may be applied toward tuition and mandatory fees, helping part-time students manage college costs that may otherwise limit their ability to continue their education.
