Support CHOICE in higher education for Marylanders… Attending a Maryland Independent college is possible for students from ALL economic circumstances.

Support LEARNING at independent colleges…the average student-faculty ratio is 12:1

Support higher education that is working… Maryland’s independent colleges and universities have the highest four-year graduation rates in the state.  Graduating students in four years saves money for students, parents, and taxpayers.  Maryland’s employers hire these students sooner!
