One reason that I believe that Howard removed most of their.scholarship info from their webpages is because they did not always offer the highest scholarship correlated to the “stats” of some accepted students. I have seen Howard become more holistic over the last 7 years that I have tracked Howard admissions and scholarships and personally believe that higher EFC households are often offered less in Howard Institutional scholarship aid (excluding KSSP).

The Karsh STEM Scholars Program (KSSP) scholarship does have an upper household income limit (150K) that makes those households contribute 1/4 of tuition (or ~7K per year for 21-22 school year). You can not stack any Howard institutional scholarship with the KSSP scholarship, but you can use outside scholarship funds to cover that shortfall. The only exception to the upper income requirement is for students awarded both the Presidential and KSSP Scholarship (The KSSP waived the 1/4 tuition payment for those households over 150K who were offered both scholarships and chose the KSSP scholarship over the Presidential Scholarship in past years).

One thing to be careful about is that the scholarship/aid landscape has changed a lot during my time watching Howard (more need-based is given today than ever) so even things that I have had confirmed by administrators and other scholars/parents as recently as last year may be outdated for HU27. Good luck on your quest for money and please check out the Howard and CC KSSP pages as they may be helpful.
