BALTIMORE – The Maryland Higher Education Commission announced a new app to help streamline the financial aid application process to apply for state scholarships and grants. Through the new MHEC One-App, students who plan to attend a college, university or trade school between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025, may now apply for all of the financial aid programs offered by the state through one convenient application.

“This new app offers easy access to the financial aid information, while providing a more streamlined process when applying for the $130 million in financial aid available to Maryland students,” said Maryland Higher Education Commission Acting Secretary Dr. Sanjay Rai.

To get started, students are encouraged to log into or create their Maryland College Aid Processing System account. Students who do not currently have an account will be required to create one. Students will also be required to submit an email that they use frequently to ensure successful communication between the student and the agency — all notifications go through email.

This includes undocumented students who are eligible for in-state tuition and replaces the Maryland State Financial Aid Application, known as the MSFAA, with the new application, which is also located in the Maryland College Aid Processing System.

The Maryland Higher Education Commission administers 27 state scholarship and grant programs to more than 65,000 Maryland students annually.
