Graduate Scholarships

Your graduate education is a major investment in your future and the University of Baltimore is pleased to offer scholarships to help compensate for some of the costs. A limited number of merit and need-based scholarships are available for new and continuing graduate students. The amounts of these scholarships vary from partial to full in-state tuition for one or more semesters, depending upon available funding.

University of Baltimore’s alumni and friends have established scholarships to aid specific student populations. The generosity of these donors provides financial assistance to students who will one-day be considered UB alumni and who value the principals of stewardship.
