Beinecke Scholarship

 Are you a junior planning to pursue graduate study in the arts, humanities, or social sciences? Do you have an outstanding academic record? Do you have a high degree of financial need?

"Junior" means a student who plans to continue full-time undergraduate study in fall 2025 and who expects to receive a baccalaureate degree between December 2025 and August 2026. The University of Maryland may nominate one individual to compete nationally.
