| Are merit scholarships offered at the same time as the acceptance letters at UMBC? |

| UMBC scholarships are awarded after students apply for admission, with automatic merit scholarship consideration for incoming first-year and transfer students who meet application deadlines. Students can expect to hear back about their scholarship status within 4-6 weeks after the application deadline |

| Does UMBC cost more or less than Towson? If your child is between those two choices, are you leaning either direction? It seems like Towson has more of a campus feel, but UMBC has an edge in STEM. Am I reading it correctly? |

UMBC's tuition is a bit higher than Towson's. I agree with your reading of the two schools. |

Do you mind sharing your DD stats? |

I think UMBC has more than an edge in STEM; it’s an excellent STEM school. |

Merit aid or a specific scholarship. |
