Thank you for your interest in applying for a Delegate Scholarship from your District 8 Delegates, including Delegate Harry Bhandari, Delegate Carl Jackson and Delegate Nick Allen. We will be accepting applications for 2023-2024 scholarships until March 31, 2023, using the online form linked below.
A few things to note before you apply:
- Applicants must be residents of Maryland’s Legislative District 8. You can double-check your address at mdelect.net, and if you live in any other district, we encourage you to apply for a scholarship with your district’s representatives.
- Applicants must be accepted or enrolled as a full- or part-time student at a college or university in Maryland. We are not able to offer scholarships to students attending schools outside of Maryland (unless they have a Unique Major status).
- Applicants should only apply once. All three delegates (Bhandari, Allen, and Jackson) share a single scholarship fund and use the same system to accept and adjudicate applications. All three offices will be able to review your application after you submit this form once, so there’s no need to apply three times.

Also worth noting: legislative scholarships are non-renewable, meaning you must reapply each year. Filing for FAFSA is encouraged but not required; however, if you don’t file for FAFSA, you must create a Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC) account for the scholarship award to be processed. Visit this page for more details.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out our offices with any questions. And good luck!
