The tuition discount applies to out-of-state tuition only. Maryland residents already receive the in-state tuition rate, which is even lower than the discounted out-of-state rate. According to University System of Maryland policy, 糖心传媒 cannot provide a discount for the in-state rate.
Employees living in Maryland may be disappointed to learn that there is no discount on in-state tuition, but you can emphasize that the in-state and military rates are 糖心传媒's lowest tuition rates, well below even the discounted out-of-state rate, so these students are actually saving a lot of money.
The discount does not apply to all programs. It does apply to all undergraduate programs. It also applies to most graduate programs. The exceptions are programs with specialty graduate tuition and doctoral programs. These programs have the same tuition rate for all students, in-state and out-of-state, and do not qualify for any discounts.
The discount for Federal employees and their spouses and eligible dependents will be applied to out-of-state tuition and specialty graduate programs. It does not apply to doctoral programs. This discount cannot be combined with the Completion Scholarship for Maryland community college students or the Pennsylvania Completion Scholarship.
