The Office of Student Financial Aid (OSFA) administers all types of federal, state and institutional financial assistance programs, and, in cooperation with other university offices, participates in the awarding of scholarships to deserving students. The primary responsibility for financing attendance at the University of Maryland, College Park, lies with students and families. Scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study positions are awarded on the basis of academic ability and/or financial need as determined by a federal needs analysis system. It is the intent of OSFA to provide assistance to students who might not otherwise be able to pursue college studies due to financial constraints.
