UMBC has a strong tradition of giving back to the community.  The Sondheim Public Affairs Scholarship program supports, inspires, and empowers talented undergraduates that want to do just that.  Students will address society’s most pressing problems, making a difference in the world, and continuing the legacy of Walter Sondheim, Jr.  Giving to the Sondheim Public Affairs Scholarship program helps ensures the continued academic success of our students, while contributing to the educational opportunities of future public servants and leaders of our community.

There are many ways for alumni and other supporters to give back to the Sondheim Public Affairs Scholarship Program, including mentoring current students, networking with soon-to-be graduates, sponsoring an internship, assisting with Scholar Selection Day or speaking at a scholar seminar.
