UMBC Meyerhoff Scholars Program
The Meyerhoff Program seeks to increase the number of minorities, particularly African-Americans, who earn doctoral degrees in the sciences, mathematics, computer science, and engineering.
Open to all highly-achieving minority high school seniors with an interest in graduate study in the sciences or engineering. The program currently holds approximately 180 students. 95% of graduating Meyerhoff Scholars immediately enter into professional and graduate schools.
Structure of the Meyerhoff Scholarship Program
Scholarship support for all students
The Summer Bridge Program prior to entrance, featuring academic coursework, time management coursework, and social networking activities.
Research experience
Interaction with a practicing professional mentor
Personal interaction with UMBC faculty and staff
Special academic support, cultural enrichment, and career-oriented workshops
