Each year, I award college scholarships to undergraduate college students in our community. To be eligible you must:
Plan to attend as an undergraduate a Maryland college or university or a private career school
Complete the 203-24 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Maryland State Financial Aid Application (MSFAA) _______
Have a family income limit of less than $100,000;
And attend school either full or part-time.
Please visit www.fasfa.gov to access the application and MDCaps to access the MSFAA. My scholarship awards typically average $1,000.
If your major is not offered at a Maryland institution of higher education, you may apply for a unique major designation that would allow you to use my Delegate Scholarship funds for an out-of-state school.
The scholarship application must be filled out completely and returned with all of the required documentation:
Application: Part One
Email my office at: aaron.kaufman@house.state.md.us
Application: Part Two
Complete and submit electronically to aaron.kaufman@house.state.md.us
Letters and essays must be typed.
One Letter of Recommendation: Academic (teacher or professor) or
Non-academic (coach, work supervisor, clergy)
Unofficial Transcript from the school’s web portal
