About Our Program

Build together with a community of learners just like you–students energized by technology, computing, and engineering.

You’re invited to join CWIT, where you will:

  • Receive mentorship from upper-class students, professors, and industry professionals in the computing and engineering communities;
  • Participate in networking and other professional development events;
  • Priority acceptance to live in the CWIT Living Learning Community housing;
  • A CWIT Scholar four-year scholarship and more!

CWIT is closely aligned with the Cyber Scholars Program–interested students may apply to both.

How We Support Our Scholars

The CWIT Scholars Program provides four-year awards, which often cover the greater part of the cost of attendance at UMBC. Scholars will be offered scholarships up to:

$15,000

Per academic year for in-state students

$22,000

Per academic year for out-of-state students

Are You Eligibile For CWIT?

Students of all genders pursuing one of the College of Engineering and Information Technology majors–computer science, information systems, business technology administration (with a technical focus), computer engineering, mechanical engineering, or chemical/biochemical/environmental engineering–are eligible to apply.
