What Is the Garrett County Scholarship Program?

The Board of Garrett County Commissioners recognizes that the County's future economic well-being is dependent on having an educated, skilled workforce that is prepared to compete successfully for jobs in an increasingly competitive, global economy. 该奖学金项目为当前加勒特县高中毕业生提供平等的高等教育机会和平等的晋升机会.

加勒特县奖学金计划(GCSP)是一项奖学金，为符合条件的加勒特县高中毕业生提供学生援助计划，涵盖加勒特学院的学费和综合费用. GCSP provides for required developmental studies and up to 64 credit hours of study in the student's chosen program at Garrett College.

该计划始于2007年，当时是加勒特县委员奖学金计划，并于2008年改为加勒特县奖学金计划. The program was expanded in 2011 to include non-credit certificate programs and dual enrollment. In 2019, the program was again amended to raise the grade-point average (GPA) to a 2.5 each semester with an appeal process.

Students may appeal their loss of funding by seeking an exception and following the process outlined below in the Appeals section.
  3. 学生有三年的GCSP资格，必须在加勒特学院最初入学之日起的三年内毕业或转学. However, students are not required to maintain continuous enrollment in order to be eligible.

  5. The program will cover the tuition and combined fees for required developmental courses, with the exception of developmental courses taken during a high school dual enrollment period.
  6. The program will pay only for required developmental courses and for an additional 64 credit hours of study at the maximum. However, the program will not, under any condition, pay for any repeated courses. Students must self-fund or use other financial aid for such courses.

  8. Students are required to apply for various forms of financial aid.

Federal Pell Grants, and any form of the Howard P. Rawlings Educational Excellence or Maryland Community College Promise awards, are deducted prior to the Garrett County Scholarship Program.
