Tomorrow's Trailblazers
UMD is expanding access to a world-class education, enhancing students’ academic and personal growth and preparing them to launch careers in a quickly evolving job market.
Our Commitment to Student Success
Trailblazers. Changemakers. Innovators. Chance-takers. Whatever their names, these Terps will create the future for all of us. Given support today, they will be unstoppable tomorrow.
Forward for the University of Maryland
We call upon the strength of our Terrapin community to move Maryland forward. Join us in building a better future for all.
Multi-Unit Priorities
Broadening pathways to a top-tier education, we will shape tomorrow’s innovators and changemakers through our experiential learning opportunities, leadership programs and renowned entrepreneurship ecosystem.
To become a top 10 public university, UMD needs to recruit and enroll the nation’s best applicants. Scholarships and graduate fellowships not only make Maryland more appealing than ever, they also open doors to a Maryland education for students with financial need.
Scholarships & Graduate Fellowships
Our students aren’t just joining a hypercompetitive workforce. They’re defining it. Terps should have the opportunity to level up their learning through beyond-the-classroom, action-oriented experiences to make an impact as interns, advocates and researchers now.
Beyond-the-Classroom, Action-oriented Experiences
Teaching and learning in leadership programs cultivate the next generation of changemakers by encouraging critical thinking and creative problem solving.
Leadership Programs
The entrepreneurship ecosystem at the University of Maryland supercharges student startups, equipping Terps with skills, resources and expert mentors on the road to success.
