Are you a junior planning to pursue graduate study in the arts, humanities, or social studies?

Do you have an outstanding academic record? Do you have a high degree of financial need?
 
The Beinecke Scholarship Program provides graduate study scholarships in the humanities and social sciences to JUNIORS of exceptional, demonstrated academic ability who have a  high degree of financial  need as demonstrated by the FAFSA process. (For example, receiving or qualifying for a Pell Grant would indicate a high degree of financial need.)
 
The Beinecke program seeks highly motivated and intellectually accomplished JUNIORS who plan to pursue researched-based master's or PhD programs in the arts, humanities, or social sciences after graduation. "Junior" means a student who plans to continue full-time undergraduate study next fall 2020 and who expects to receive a baccalaureate degree between December 2020 and August 2021.

Candidates for the Beinecke Scholarship must be nominated by their university or college – the University of Maryland, College Park can nominate 1 outstanding junior annually to compete for a Beinecke Scholarship. To seek nomination, candidates must submit a complete draft of a Beinecke Scholarship application by January 17, 2020.

Duration:  Scholars must utilize all funding within five years of graduation.
 
Campus Deadline:  January 17, 2020 This is the deadline for submitting a complete draft of a Beinecke application to be considered for University of Maryland, College Park nomination.
