About
Scholarships
The Maryland State Fair offers two scholarships for students. Each scholarship is very different so please read all of the requirements carefully to determine which scholarship is best for you!
Individuals may apply for both the Maryland State Fair Scholarship and The Marlin K. Hoff Scholarship; however, individuals may not be recipients of both scholarships. Recipients of the Maryland State Fair Scholarship and the Marlin K. Hoff Scholarship will be recognized during the Maryland State Fair at a special awards ceremony.
If additional information is needed please call the State Fair Office at 410-252-0200 ext 231 or email us at rrensor@comcast.net. Completed applications must be postmarked by July 2, 2010. Proof of enrollment to an accredited four-year college or university must be presented to the Maryland State Fair (P.O. Box 188, Timonium, MD 21094-0188) to collect on the award.
