ABOUT DELEGATE CULLISON’S SCHOLARSHIP

​​​​The Delegate Cullison Scholarship is offered to Maryland District 19 residents who plan to pursue a postsecondary credential full-time or part-time at a two-year or a four-year Maryland college, university, or private career school. It does not renew automatically and must be applied for annually.

Attention USG Campus Students: If you are a student at the Universities of Shady Grove campus, you must apply directly through USG. Please call 301-738-6023 or email usg-scholarships@umd.edu and inquire about application process and deadline. I believe their priority deadline is June 30, but check with them.
