UMD has no separate application for most merit awards: the admissions application is the scholarship application. Applying Early Action gives 'priority consideration for admission, merit-based scholarships and invitations to special programs.'

UMD College Park, enrollment confirmation deadline
This is the day you must formally accept Maryland's offer and pay the enrollment confirmation fee to hold their spot. It is the national standard reply date, so it is the same day you must decline every other school. UMD lists it as May 1 for fall enrollment.
If you miss it: No confirmation by May 1 and UMD can release your seat to someone on the waitlist.
- Housingin about 7 months

You're guaranteed a residence hall room only if your Housing and Dining Agreement goes in by the posted deadline. Resident Life listed May 1 for the most recently published year. There's a $50 non-refundable application fee unless you got a fee waiver.
