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

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

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

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