Scholarship program overview

For 19 years, the SECU MD Foundation has proudly supported members pursuing their higher education goals through our annual scholarship program. Since the program’s inception, we’ve awarded over $1.1 million in scholarships.

With lower tuition rates, smaller class sizes, and individualized student support, community colleges are a popular and financially responsible choice for savvy Maryland students. In 2023, 24% of all new students to University System of Maryland schools were transfer students from Maryland community colleges.

The SECU MD Foundation is proud to help students take the next step in their educational journey by removing a heavy financial barrier and supporting their long-term financial well-being. We look forward to helping the next generation of Maryland scholars realize their education and career goals.
