If necessary, use this space to clarify your test policies (e.g., if tests are recommended for some students, or if tests are not required of some students due to differences by academic program, student academic background, or if other examinations may be considered in lieu of the SAT and ACT):The University of Maryland is true test optional in that if a student chooses to not submit their test scores, they are still considered for all factors of admission (admissions, limited enrollment programs, living and learning programs, and merit-based scholarships). If a student does choose to submit the test score, the test score will be used in all factors of admissions, as listed beforehand.

If your institution has recently implemented any major financial aid policy, program, or initiative to make your institution more affordable to incoming students such as replacing loans with grants, or waiving costs for families below a certain income level please provide details:Starting in FY 2023, UMD started providing additional need-based scholarships designed to support low-income, in-state, full-time students by reducing the gap between a student’s total financial aid offer and the cost of a UMD education.
This program, called Terrapin Commitment, is the largest single-year investment in need-based scholarships in UMD’s history and will ensure that tuition and fees are fully covered for eligible students.
