Gov. Hogan announces college scholarship promotion for Md. teens who receive COVID vaccine

ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Governor Larry Hogan has announced a college scholarship initiative for Marylanders age 12 to 17 who get vaccinated against COVID-19.

We’re told this is a partnership between the Maryland Health Department and the Maryland Higher Education Commission. Between July 12th and September 5th, two winners will be selected each Monday by random draw. On Labor Day, September 6th, four winners will be chosen.

To be eligible, individuals must be between the ages of 12 and 17, have provided a Maryland address at the time of vaccination, and received their vaccine in the state (not at a Federal facility).

Winners will receive a Maryland 529 Prepaid College Trust Contract or a Maryland 529 College Investment Plan. If they choose to attend a private or out-of-state school, the scholarship can be transferred to their school of choice.
