Capital Campaign
UMUC began this seven-year drive on July 1, 2004, and it will continue until June 30, 2011. A successful campaign will help UMUC achieve its strategic vision as the leading global university, distinguished by the quality of education it provides, its commitment to students’ success, and the accessibility of its programs.
Total Campaign Goal: $26,000,000
Current Contributions: $12,530,213.60
Still needed: $13,469,787
We’re on track for success…but we still need your help. With just a little over 30 months to go, we still must raise another $13,660,027 to meet our goal. Your contribution is needed now to put us over the top.

- School of Undergraduate Studies Scholarship Endowment
