Delegate Scholarship Program Applications

January 22, 2010 by Hecht Yes News

Delegate Sue Hecht has again asked the Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC) to manage and award the legislative scholarship funds allocated to her District 3A office for the 2010-2011 academic year. The deadline for submitting applications is March 1, 2010.

“Rather than awarding scholarships directly through my office, I think it is more appropriate to have an educational agency independent of the political process make these very important decisions,” said Delegate Hecht. “I appreciate the hard work of the MHEC’s Office of Student Financial Assistance in reviewing applications and selecting recipients from our District.”

Applicants will need to complete only one application-the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), available at school guidance or financial aid offices. To get more information on the FAFSA application process, go to www.fafsa.ed.gov

Please let her know that you are a resident of District 3A.
