I won an outside award scholarship, but the awarding agency will not present it to me because I am attending the Academy. What should I do?

Because the Academy is a Federal Service Academy, some scholarship funds may not award their scholarship to you. Unfortunately, unlike other federal service academies, the Academy does not provide a monthly stipend or cover 100% of the Cost of Attendance for their students. Many scholarship funds are unaware of this fact.

If you have won an outside award, but the awarding agency will not present it to you for this reason, please contact the our Office of Financial Aid. In past instances, we have had success in informing them of your status and overturning their decision not to award you their scholarship!

Please note: Some states may allow state funded college tuition programs to be used at USMMA, while some may not.
