<p>I’ve read that certain targeted High Schools have a deserving student awarded this scholarship. Does anyone know how the other “Incentive Awards” are assigned, particularly from the Business School?</p>
<p>Our D received this award out of the blue. Never heard of it before. UNFORTUNATELY, it looks as if she will be giving up the B/K, Robert C. Byrd, Md Distinguished Scholar, and $5K/yr (Incentive Award) to care for children and teach English another year in Nepal. I’ve done my best to encourage her to at least start at UMD but it ain’t happening. </p>
<p>Our S has loved his time at UMD. Last semester he studied in Barcelona which he felt was an incredible experience.</p>
