Spotlight On Maryland- McDaniel College Legacy Scholarships

Last week on Spotlight On Maryland, Gina Crash was joined in studio by Katie Ridgeway, Associate Director of Admissions, and Cheryl Knauer, Director of Public Relations at McDaniel College to talk about their guaranteed Legacy Scholarships that recognize the hard work and sacrifice of families with at least one parent or guardian employed in a service-oriented occupation, including education, military service, first response, health care or government.

McDaniel is a private, non-profit higher education institution. McDaniel invests approximately $55 million in grants and scholarships annually to its students thanks to the generosity of donors. McDaniel is committed to access and affordability. They launched the Educator Legacy Scholarship to recognize the contributions of pre-K-12 and community college educators about a decade ago. Then, added on the Military Legacy Scholarship to honor past and present military service members. Last year, McDaniel expanded its suite of Legacy Scholarships to include first responders, health professionals and government employees to benefit even more families.

While there is not a specific deadline, they do have a few upcoming application deadlines for students applying to McDaniel, including their November 15 and December 15 Early Action Deadlines and February 1 Regular Decision Deadline for the Fall semester.
