Banneker/Key Scholarship Policy Statement
The Banneker/Key Scholarship is Maryland's most prestigious merit scholarship for undergraduate students. In addition to the scholarship, there are a variety of opportunities and programs designed especially for Banneker/Key Scholars.
All freshman applicants to the University of Maryland who are admitted to the Honors College are considered for nomination to the Banneker/Key Scholarship. No additional application materials are required. The Banneker/Key Scholarship Selection Committee, comprised of 70-80 faculty and senior staff from across campus, carefully review the entire application of each Banneker/Key Scholarship nominee. Semifinalists for the scholarship are invited to campus for an interview as part of the final selection process. In selecting Banneker/Key Scholars, the Committee seeks to identify potential academic leaders, who as individuals and as a group, will enrich and benefit from the campus learning environment.
