Maryland BOOST Scholarship Scholarship
$1,200 to $4,750 in 2025-26, plus $3,000 for high school students These are 2025-26 amounts. The advisory board sets new amounts each summer and had not posted 2026-27 figures in writing when we checked. The larger awards go to students coming from public school on free meals. Students receiving special education services got an extra award equal to their base award.
Figures read from each program’s official pages, October 1, 2026. Sources and how to apply
