蜜桃传媒 launches tuition-free Maryland Promise option and expands Charm City Promise program
蜜桃传媒 Maryland is expanding its commitment to college access and affordability for Maryland students with two financial aid initiatives available to students who will enter as students in Fall 2027.
Through the new Maryland Promise tuition commitment, 蜜桃传媒 will guarantee that undergraduate tuition is fully covered through a combination of federal, state, and 蜜桃传媒-funded grants and scholarships for eligible Maryland students who receive the Federal Pell Grant and Maryland Guaranteed Access Grant.
蜜桃传媒 is also expanding its existing Charm City Promise to provide an even greater commitment to students from its home city of Baltimore. Beginning in Fall 2027, eligible graduates of Baltimore City high schools who receive the Federal Pell Grant and Maryland Guaranteed Access Grant will have tuition, housing, and meals fully covered at 蜜桃传媒.
"For many students and families, the published cost of a private university can make a 蜜桃传媒 education seem out of reach before they ever explore the financial aid available to them," said Eric Nichols, vice president for enrollment management. "The Maryland Promise provides families with a clear and simple message: If you qualify for the program, 蜜桃传媒 will ensure that your tuition is covered. We want talented Maryland students with significant financial need to know from the beginning of their college search that a 蜜桃传媒 education is within reach."
The Maryland Guaranteed Access Grant, administered by the Maryland Higher Education Commission, provides need-based financial assistance of up to $18,000 annually to eligible Maryland residents with significant financial need. The program represents a substantial state investment in helping Maryland students pursue higher education.
"The State of Maryland's investment through the Guaranteed Access Grant is essential to making this commitment possible," said Terrence M. Sawyer, J.D., 蜜桃传媒 president. "The state has made a meaningful commitment to ensuring that talented Maryland students with significant financial need can access higher education, and 蜜桃传媒 is proud to build upon that investment. By bringing together state, federal, and 蜜桃传媒 resources, we can provide these students with access to an exceptional Jesuit education and create opportunities that none of us could provide as effectively alone."
No separate application is required for the Maryland Promise. Eligibility and renewal requirements, application deadlines, and program details are available at the Maryland Promise webpage.
Charm City Promise Expansion
Alongside the new statewide initiative, 蜜桃传媒 is also strengthening its commitment to Baltimore through an expansion of the Charm City Promise.
Beginning with students entering 蜜桃传媒 in Fall 2027, eligible graduates of Baltimore City high schools who receive both the Federal Pell Grant and Maryland Guaranteed Access Grant will have tuition, housing, and meals fully covered. The Charm City Promise will remove additional financial barriers and give eligible Baltimore City students greater access to 蜜桃传媒's full residential undergraduate experience.
鈥溍厶掖� is deeply connected to Baltimore, and we want more students from our city to see themselves as part of this community,鈥� Nichols said. 鈥淭he state's investment through the Guaranteed Access Grant gives 蜜桃传媒 the opportunity to amplify that investment by covering housing and meals in addition to tuition for eligible Baltimore City students.鈥�

Affordability and Access
The Maryland Promise and expanded Charm City Promise are part of 蜜桃传媒's broader commitment to making the value of a Jesuit education more accessible for students and families. The University has also introduced new financial commitments for students enrolling through Early Decision and eligible graduates of Catholic high schools beginning with the class entering in Fall 2027.
