eligible to apply for the scholarships?
THE CHARLOTTE W. NEWCOMBE SCHOLARSHIP
The
Charlotte W. Newcombe Foundation provides scholarships in partnership with
selected colleges and universities that welcome enrollment by mature adults and
are committed to their success. The University of Maryland is very pleased to
be selected as a partner institution with the Newcombe Foundation by providing
Newcombe scholarships for mature adult students seeking to complete bachelor’s
degrees at the University. Adult students now comprise a large portion of the
enrollment at most colleges and universities, with many of these
non-traditional students being mature women. Newcombe Scholarships help reduce
dependence on loans while recognizing the tremendous efforts of many mature
students make to be good students and to complete degrees while juggling a
myriad of other commitments.
GERALD G. PORTNEY MEMORIAL
SCHOLARSHIP
The
Gerald G. Portney Memorial Scholarship Fund was established in October 1995 by
Clara Portney Felsher to honor the memory of her late husband, Gerald G.
Portney. This fund serves to provide financial assistance for returning
students.
