1. Apply to Carroll online now (if you are already a dual enrollment student or have already applied, skip this step)
2. Apply to the STEM Scholars Program.
3. Complete STEM Scholars supplemental requirements which include:
   • Unofficial high school transcript, and, if applicable, college transcript
   • Official college entrance exam scores (SAT or ACT from College Board) are optional for applicants. There is no disadvantage to not submitting your test scores. However, you are welcome to submit them if you feel they will strengthen your application. Many students place directly into courses with their high school grade point average. After review the committee may ask for placement testing at the College.
   • Recommendation letter from a teacher, school counselor or college faculty
   • Students’ course load, academic achievement, extracurricular and leadership activities are strong factors in the admissions process.

The application will open each year in October. Applicants will be reviewed on a rolling basis through July.

Most students will be required to submit 2nd marking period grades before being admitted. Contact the Admissions to schedule an appointment if you have questions at 410-386-8430 or admissions@carrrollcc.edu.
