The Sondheim Public Affairs Scholars Program offers a prestigious scholarship to attend UMBC. Sondheim scholars come from all majors on campus, but they are united by their passion for public service and public affairs. Sondheim scholars make a difference on and off campus through service-learning, excel in their academic pursuits, and participate in Sondheim-sponsored activities and programs.

“I would say the experience was my first insight into the program and its values. It was a bonding moment with the other Sondheims. That day we learned the significance of our contributions to a community.”
