This program is open to graduating high school seniors and currently-enrolled college students who have a military-dependent identification card.

Applicants must also meet at least 1 of the following requirements: 1) have a family member who is an activeduty or retired service member assigned to, attached to, or working in Maryland; 2) is a member or has a parent who is a member of the MMCSC; or 3) has another affiliation with Maryland's military community.

They must be enrolled or planning to enroll fulltime at a college or university in any state and have a major in a field of STEM. Along with their application, they must submit essays of 350 to 600 words on 1) their long-range goals for school and career and their plan to achieve those goals; and 2) how being part of a military community has impacted their life.

Selection is based on that essay, academic achievement (measured by GPA and ACT/SAT scores), and school and community involvement; financial need is not considered.
