The University of Maryland is encouraging eligible students facing financial distress caused by the COVID-19 pandemic’s disruption of university operations to apply for assistance through the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act. Students who wish to apply must fill out the application and provide a statement about how the COVID-19 situation and the disruption of campus operations resulted in financial hardship.
To complete the application, log in to the financial aid portal. Eligible students may use the funds for expenses such as food, housing, course materials, technology, health care, and child care. Detailed eligibility requirements can be found on the Financial Aid Office website.
Eligible students who already received the UMD CARES Act Emergency Financial Aid Grant based on their 2019-2020 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and are still experiencing financial distress caused by the COVID-19 campus disruption can also complete the application for additional emergency financial aid grant consideration.
If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Student Financial Aid at umdfinaid@umd.edu or call (301) 314-TERP. Stay safe and healthy.
