Individuals applying for the Workforce Shortage Student Assistance Grant Program must submit the online application through the Maryland College Aid Processing System (MDCAPS) using the MHEC One App.
For consideration based on need, students may file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.gov for the academic year the student will be attending. The FAFSA is not required; however, it will be used to determine the order in which students will be awarded.
鈥�
Certain majors may require additional documentation, which will be noted on the application.
Who may apply?
To be considered for the Workforce Shortage Student Assistance Grant you must:
- 鈥嬧�婤e a Maryland resident. If you are a dependent student, your parent must also be a Maryland resident.

- Full-time (12+ credits per semester) or part-time (6-11 credits per semester) undergraduate.
- Full-time (9+ credits per semester) or part-time (6-8 credits per semester) graduate student.

- Enroll as a degree-seeking student in an eligible major leading to employment in an eligible field as indicated on your application.

Students who receive one of these former awards are not eligible to also receive a WSSAG award.
