Prospective Students

We’re glad you’re considering UMBC! The Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships is dedicated to assisting students in understanding the financial aid process.

UMBC is pleased to provide a student aid calculator as a guide for early financial planning for college. This calculator will provide a preliminary estimate of federal and institutional aid eligibility. The calculator is intended for use by U.S. citizens or permanent residents who will be incoming first-year, full-time students entering the fall semester pursuing their first undergraduate degree.

Please note this calculator is for estimates only and the actual award package will vary depending on the time of year, regulatory and institutional policy changes, availability of funds as well as verifiable financial information.
