Current Scholarships & Funds

Every other year, five students are selected to serve on the Union Contemporary Art Purchasing Program Committee, research potential pieces, and travel to Washington, D.C., Baltimore and New York City to purchase art for the Union’s permanent collection. The selected pieces are showcased around the Adele H. Stamp Student Union, opening the eyes of students and community members to the varied perspectives and cultures of contemporary artists.

The Student Affairs Alumni Group for Engagement (SAAGE) is a select group of University of Maryland alumni who demonstrate their commitment to the University and the Division of Student Affairs through their shared passion for ensuring that all students thrive. This commitment is evident through their lived experiences as UMD student leaders, their ability to provide thoughtful counsel to the Vice President through their leadership and stature, their ongoing philanthropic support to the Division, and active participation in the Student Affairs community.

The Student Crisis Fund is managed by the Dean of Students Office housed within the Division of Student Affairs. Creating a culture of care is central to the Dean of Students values.

The Student Crisis fund is funded by our generous donors and supporters and it provides financial support when a verified crisis has negatively impacted a student's health, safety, wellbeing, and their ability to continue their education.
