Procedure
Candidates for the Sondheim Public Affairs Scholars Program complete
a separate scholarship

letters of recommendation are required: two from
high school teachers, preferably in social studies,
and the other from someone who knows the student well
outside of school. Finalists are interviewed by a faculty
committee. For more information, contact the Scholarship
Office at UMBC, website
.
Students must also submit an application for undergraduate
admission to UMBC. The application is available from
the Office
of Undergraduate Admissions. To ensure timely application
processing, we recommend that all scholarship candidates
take advantage of the early action admissions deadline
of November 1.
