The annual award amount is the difference between the amount of tuition paid by an out-of-state student and the amount paid by an in-state student at the same institution, in the same educational program, for the identical number of credit hours. The amount of assistance is known as the tuition differential. It is the institution's responsibility to adjust the tuition charges so that a student pays the tuition charged to a Maryland resident.
