The Scholarship Selection Committee
To ensure fairness of the selection process, all contact information will be removed from each entry by the Scholarship Committee Chair. Essays will be designated a random number by the Chair and essays will then be distributed to all volunteer scholarship committee members.  The Scholarship Committee will review the essays, come together to deliberate and make their unanimous decision. Award recipients will be announced at the Miss Maryland Competition. 

Scholarship Awards must be used for educational purposes only. Paperwork on how to request the funds will be provided to the recipient by the Scholarship Committee Chair. 

All essays must be submitted by 11:59 PM on June 1 to [email protected]
