Valuable scholarship and financial aid information for students making college plans in the coming academic year is available in the newly released Allegany College of Maryland Foundation scholarship catalog.
The catalog's 2018-19 issue describes the wide-ranging and often substantial resources that can be tapped to help make higher education affordable for students. The book contains information on federal, state and community sources of financial aid, but gives special emphasis to scholarships established with the Foundation from tri-state and regional sources.
The Foundation catalog features nearly 300 community scholarships that assist students enrolled in the college's numerous credit programs. Some of these have multiple awards. A few continuing education programs are included as well.
Sequenced by application deadline, these Foundation-administered scholarships are sponsored by individuals, families, organizations and companies to assist ACM students in their plans. The first such deadline is Jan. 31.
Selection criteria vary by such factors as financial aid, merit and minimum grade point average as well as a student's residence or program of study. Scholarship recipients may receive as many as three scholarships in one academic year. Featured prominently in the catalog are the Allegany County Opportunity Scholarships, which were established by the Allegany County Commissioners in partnership with the Foundation to benefit Allegany County residents.
Two of the program's awards are the Merit Scholarship Award, in the amount of $1,000 or more for eligible students, and the Tuition Subsidy for Credit Students, paying up to 50 percent per credit hour for those who meet eligibility requirements.
Copies of the new ACM scholarship catalog are available at ACM campuses in Cumberland and in Bedford County, which can be reached 301-784-5200 or 814-652-9528, respectively. The scholarship catalog can also be viewed online at www.allegany.edu/scholarships. Supporting documents also can be found there, such as a listing of scholarships by curriculum. The application and instructions for completing it online via AcademicWorks also can be found there.
