Scholarship Sponsored by Maryland Higher Education Commission
The Workforce Shortage Student Assistance Grant (WSSAG) Program is for students who plan on working in specific career/occupational programs upon graduation. Eligible fields include child care, human services, teaching, nursing, physical and occupational therapy, social work, and public service.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
To be considered for the Workforce Shortage Student Assistance Grant you must:
- Be 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. (Students may be enrolled for less than six (6) credits in a semester, but must earn at least 12 credit hours in each academic year if an undergraduate student, or 9 credit hours if a graduate student, including the summer term.)

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