I am married and a mom to two kids and receiving the USMH Scholarship alleviates a little bit of stress as there might be less of an impact on my family.
I couldn’t be more grateful than I am now because the USMH Scholarship has set me up for life. I don’t have to worry about student loans and not being able to do certain things.
It was very rewarding to receive the USMH Scholarship and it gave me the extra push to achieve my goals.
“We all grew up in downtown Hagerstown, I really wasn’t interested in going away to school and paying all those extra fees. I love that USMH is in my hometown.”

My time at USMH has been some of the best of my academic career! The small class sizes let you actually get to know your professors and peers. I've been able to thrive in this environment, and I can't say enough good things about this program. I've been able to achieve every academic goal I've set for myself because of USMH.
